    | As I've noted previously, if you intend to start a new subject, it's
    a

    | reply to a message in an earlier thread, "back out" the current
    | subject, and type in a new subject. For those people who follow the
    | list strictly through google's web interface (less than 10% of the
    | membership), messages like this that are replies with edited
    subjects
    | are still placed in the same thread. For members who follow the list
    by
    | email only, there is no visible difference --a new subject is a new
    | subject no matter how it's created and the threading is invisible.
    But
    | you will be doing a small favor to those who do not follow the list
    by
    | email if you follow the above instructions.

    | PS: This is not a law or anything. You don't have to follow the
    above
    | advice. I'm simply pointing out that if you do it this way, you're
    | helping out the "google web interface" readers of NavList.

    Response from George-

    Rather diplomatically, Frank has described my regular practice, up to
    now, precisely. No doubt, I've been a regular offender in that regard,
    without realising it.

    Belatedly, I've now got the message, and promise to mend my ways.

    George.
