It's been done. Countless times. And sometimes people just keep forgetting.
Just like with excess quotations, a bounce would serve as a friendly
reminder to change the subject before sending a reply.
I've been on this list pretty much since the beginning, and these days I
pretty much just lurk since I'm not much of an active Newton user anymore.
Quite frankly, I'm not really interested in following the umpteenth poutine
explanation/discussion. Sensible subject lines help me scan for interesting
reads among the barrage of messages I receive daily from this and other
high-volume mailing lists.
