There is a need to use some judgement as to when the subject is changed. The subject establishes a thread of messages with a common interest.. When the content jumps to another aspect which is remotely or not tied to the original subject its time to change the subject. While it is easy to hit reply and start to type, one should stop and think about what is being typed as it relates to the subject. When there is little or no connection, it is time to change the subject. Wouldn't you agree? Hugh In a message dated 2/16/2009 10:35:32 A.M.

Yes, I would most certainly agree, but not the next day after the thread had died. ~don -----Original Message----- From: germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of HFTHusma@aol.com Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 9:58 AM To: GERMANNA_COLONIES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Please Change the Subject Line There is a need to use some judgement as to when the subject is changed.

In regards to change the subject line, there is another courtesy. Clip all but the essential of the previous message that is needed for clarity of the reply. This is a very hard habit to establish, and I still am guilty as charged.
