    1. LISTOWNER MESSAGE - PLEASE READ

    3. Listmembers, When you send a message to any list it is so important to make certain you have an appropriate subject line. Some people get a lot of e-mail and are not able to read it all. Therefore they scan the subject lines of their e-mail and delete any that doesn't interest them or for which they have no information to add. One or more of these persons could possibly hold the key piece of information for which you are looking. The subject is where you get their attention. These messages are archived. When people are searching the archives, subject lines help them find the messages that are important to them. And your e-mail could get overlooked if the subject line does not match the content of the message. You may miss out on a connection. In the near future there will be threaded archives. A good subject line will cause your e-mail to be archived in the correct thread. I believe most subject line mistakes are the result of clicking on the "Reply" button and writing your message without checking to make sure the subject line is still appropriate. Please accept this as a friendly reminder. I am not pointing at anyone on this list. I made this very mistake yesterday myself. We should all try to pay attention to what we send out. Keep posting but watch those subject lines. Jim
