Altering the subject line to match the topic

Currently we've got a very high volume of traffic on the group, much of
which is troll baiting or wildly off-topic discussions. I've no to
thread drift, but given the volume could people please change the
subject line when the thread has drifted away from cycling topics?

Also, now we've got fox-hunting banned, don't you think we should
classify troll-baiting as a blood sport, and limit it to well-defined
troll-hunting preserves like alt.flame?

Simon, never guilty of troll-baiting. Well, /hardly/ ever...

Is that like "This sentence no verb", or "If you find this sentence
confusing try changing one cabbage"? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, I know I should change the Subject, but never let an opportunity
for self-reference go back ten words.

There was an objection in there, but it got lost in transit. Or maybe in
luton...
