    3. Dear Sharon & Ed- I'm sorry if my first message came across as 'snotty'. Myself and others have tried, in a very nice manner in the past, to convey the message that many of us have no clue as to what these mysterious subject lines mean. That didn't seem to work. I'm glad I'm finally getting some response. I receive between 80-100 messages a day! I don't want to miss a message that may pertain to a lost relative anymore than you do. But to be forced to read messages with virtually no info in the subject line gets to be a drag. So I agree that it is always a good rule of thumb to treat others as you would wish to be treated... and I think that should include the fact that most people would prefer a real subject in spot where it was meant to be. Thanks for the attention to this. I'm not a mean guy, just busy!!!
