Because people will be seeking our information online for many years to come, it is important to show a SUBJECT that accurately reflects the content of your posting for the Archives of this list, where it will be saved. We should not be in the business of "following threads" -- but in the business of accurate research! Also, as many of us are very busy and have many lists and messages, you would be wasting a lot of time of a lot of people by listing a SURNAME in your SUBJECT that is not written about in the text of your message, and causing readers to waste the time of opening and reading uselessly -- rather than quickly deleting a message that has nothing of interest for them. Why have all these had Whelan in the subject when the only surname mentioned is Gavin?
