Thread Name: HI Max: What about Shambles requests?
Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests?
Shambles sez:


That's absolutely correct, Shambles. I couldn't have said it better myself. However, that right applies only once. When you type the initial message in a thread, you choose the title - and it remains unchanged in that first message. The thread title is redundant, a repetition of the title of that first message; so it can be changed for utilitarian purposes. If anyone wishes to see what you really said, they need look no further than your message. Isn't that handy?

Max granted you the right to free expression - but I don't recall ever seeing that he granted you the right to redundancy. That redundancy is just a bad habit of yours that tends to bore the rest of us.
