I cannot see any way out of making my comments a 'me, too' response,
and here goes. I just recently joined another list that has no
subject tags, and even though there is a subject line (which somebody
fails to change), I find that I never know what I am getting into
when I open one of the messages (particularly off topic chitchat and
how the grandchildren are faring or Aunt Sally's misery). That, of
course, happens on iris-talk, but less often because of the subject
tags. When used properly, subject tags are a definite asset. If we
get rid of them, I wonder how anybody will be able to use Digest or
the Archives. The Archives are a treasure trove of iris knowledge
and lore and would be totally useless and unsearchable without
subject tags.
