Boy, if the lack of a subject line was all I had to worry about,
 what a wonderful life it would be.  I understand your feelings
 about this, but to me, a subject line isn't that important.
 What's important to me is content.  Is the post something of
 interest to me either from the standpoint of can I use it
 somewhere in my own code or projects, or is it just so much
 fluff that we all could do without?  I belong to three different
 SIG's and get about 120 to 150 emails a day.  Probably one
 third or so don't have subject lines or useful content.  But I
 read them anyway.  I do this because the one I toss out
 without reading could very well be the one that has the answer
 in it that I have been looking for for a while.  Sure, I get
 a lot of fluff too, but my take on it is that for every 5 fluff
 emails, I get 2 or 3 good useful pieces of information that I
 can use.  To me, this is a very good tradeoff.  I am
 satisfied with that yield.  Obviously, some people aren't as
 easily satisfied.  And I don't have a problem with that
 either.  I just think there is too much pickiness on this
 (and my other) board(s).  This SIG is a very useful resource,
 and the quality of people on it are second to none.  What do
 you expect for free.  You have to take the bad with the good.
 In each persons life, a little rain must fall.  Bottom line
 from my perspective: I read ALL my emails, so a subject line
 missing from one is annoying, but I'm not going to lose any
 sleep over it.  Okay, I'm done.  If anyone feels the need to
 chastise me or reprimand me for my soapbox display, so be it.
 me email address is jim@jpes.com.  But no matter.  I'll still
 feel the same way.

                                        Regards All,

                                            Jim
