IIt would be nice if the correspodence about marriage quoted some names, one could then decide whether to read it or just delete it

Hi ???? (no name) I confess I am unsure what you mean ? Every posting in the thread has had the names running through it Or do you mean names in the subject line? If thats the only reason you read a posting there are easier ways of doing it In the same way its useful to include part of the previous post so others know what you are replying to Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > IIt would be nice if the correspodence about marriage quoted some names, > one could then decide whether to read it or just delete it

So Dr Geneal is not very genial, you could read them all or not bother, what a choice. Have as great a day as you can.

Hi It always used to be list etiquette put the surname of the subject of the email in the subject line on all mailing lists but it appears to have gone by the board in recent times. If you had no knowledge of the surname you need not waste your time reading it.

Hi Mike Yes it was/is preferable to enter surnames (in capitals) in the subject line, I think it was more relevant though when you could receive 400 plus mails per day from just a few lists, those days seem long gone I fear There are several things that should happen but don't, my point was using the subject line alone for surnames will surely miss many interesting and rewarding posts The choice is the users of course but it seems to go against the reason for having lists in the first place Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Hi > > It always used to be list etiquette put the surname of the subject of > the email in the subject line on all mailing lists but it appears to > have gone by the board in recent times. > If you had no knowledge of the surname you need not waste your time > reading it. > > Mike Fisher in Droitwich
