When you join the iris list, you get sent a list of subject headings. We are 
fortunate on this list, to have a very functional archives, stored at: 
www.Mallorn.com/lists/iris-talk

This archive is sortable, and searchable, and we help it to function 
effectively by putting the correct (to the best of our abilities) subject 
headings, in a format that the search machine can cope with.
Other onelist mailing lists do not have this facility, so don't worry too 
much about casual headings.
There is, of course, an iris talk archives at Onelist, but this is not very 
useable.
The archives is a valuable asset to this list, and contains much wisdom and 
almost as much useless material.

Also, for those of us, who like to be online for as short a part of the day 
as possible, it is great to be able to scan through, and delete any 
uninteresting headings. Like Anner, I delete almost all OT's and most 
mailings that have obviously changed subject but retained the old heading.
Hope this helps, and I'm sorry to hear that you did't feel a welcome part of 
the list. This is an excellent list, with virtually no flaming, or personal 
criticisms. Worth staying on for the ride.
Cheers, Jan Clark, Australia
