We all need filters. No way would I have time to read everything that is posted at Mudcat. But the best filter is a MENTAL filter. I use mine regularly.

(Why isn't that in the list of great Mudcat quotes? Why do I have to be remembered for "In every thread SOMEONE has to be last"?)

But I'm happy that thread titles usually give me SOME idea of what the thread is about. Prefixes help do that. I think even more prefixes would be more helpful, but I'm not interested in arguing about it.
