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... -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ 'there are no solutions, only precipitates' |
