Suggestion to one and all - when responding to a message in the digest mode (like I am here), PLEASE either 1) change the subject header to either the subject of the particular message you are responding to, or 2) change it to a new subject that is pertinent to what you are trying to communicate. Few of us have time to read all the messages that come in and when we only see: Re: [OHLORAIN] Re: OHLORAIN-D Digest V02 #83 Re: [OHLORAIN] Re: OHLORAIN-D Digest V02 #83 Re: [OHLORAIN] Re: OHLORAIN-D Digest V02 #83 or the like, it is unlikely the right people will be attracted to read your message. I see so many replies that come in the digest with this sort of "subject", the whole point of having a subject line is lost. I just don't have time to read all of them to see if they are of interest to my particular geo and surname interest in Lorain County, but at the same time I don't want to miss something that is mislabeled. Just thought that we should all take note ... after all, genealogy is what we are here for, and getting the right people to read your message is the first step. A period suggestion along this line by the list manager would be a good idea! Just a thought. Regards, William Silverthorn Los Angeles, CA Now the first person who responds to this message in digest mode without changing the subject line, will have all their genealogy research taken away and be required to start over !! ;-)
