Just another two cents worth, and then I'm done. The Mudcat Cafe is a wonderful community, provides a tremendous service, and is absolutely free. It is quietly administered by people who contribute gobs of their own time and money out of the goodness of their hearts.
They're not enforcers, they're facilitators, and to suggest that anybody around here is being *imposed* upon is quite frankly ludicrous, in my opinion.

So if they DO create a mechanism which requires people to be more precise in how they label their threads, I for one am going to assume that it's because they're sincerely hoping to improve the service they provide and make things run more smoothly. It's a technical issue, not a philosophical one.
