Re: Threads drift, so I'd rather see a title that's relevant.
Hi Jeff,
I've seen thread subjects change based on "drift" before, but lots of times
people will put something like:
New thread subject (used to be: Old thread subject)
so that others can relate to it. When I use the newsgroup reader (Windows
Mail) I typically only look at new messages (don't display all messages that
I've already read through) so I typically look for something that I remember
having responded to before. I also find it handy to see the "Re: Subject of
message" so that I know that what I am reading is a response to a question
rather than the original post. I know it's just a preference, but there is
lots of stuff to weed through here and that helps me out a lot. I think it
be fair to change the subject if the response really goes off topic.

Threads drift, so those of us who are smart enough to see the thread
would rather see a title that's relevant to the body of the post.
