Scott, 

I think we've hit one of your "pet peeve" buttons! :-) 

I think that the poster that changes the subject within their
response text, should, out of curtesy to the list, modify the subject
line. 

It doesn't happen like it should and most response let the now
incorrect subject line proliferate throughout the entire thread of
emails. 

You are preaching to the choir here, but getting the list members to
change their ways on this is about as likely as Bob agreeing with
everything said on the list! :-) <grin!>
