Oh! I've been deleting them, too! Were some of them on another subject? Hate it if I missed something, but that happens when folks don't change the subject line to match their post.

And a little off topic but what's even worse is a subject line at the genealogy message boards (GF & Ancestry) that has nothing to do with anything in the content. IE "Help Please" or "Smith Question" or just "John Smith" ,,,,in the Smith forum. When scrolling down any genealogy forum and I see one of those, I cringe. I had an ongoing debate with GF (Maintenance Forum) as to why GF doesn't do something to coax posters to fill in the subject line with pertinent info and found that they could care less to better the forum. Next time you're at GF, check out my thread "Subject Line Stupidity" and see their attitude towards my post on the subject. Changing the subject in replies to reflect the thread change could be kinda lazy or oversight but a useless subject line in a "new" post in a forum or list and wanting,,, if not craving,, info to collect much wanted family history, is bordering on being not too smart or not really really wanting the info . Maybe I just take this research too serious. jerry stevens
