[OT] Proposal on off-topic discussions

[Barrie Heaton]

Hi Clyde

Well yes if the subject has changed you should start a complete new 
thread however, if it takes a new route then yes add some extra lines. 
Take in point:

[1] Dale Probst,   posted a complete new subject "Texoma Chapter 
Newsletter" which is part of "[OT] Proposal on off-topic" discussion so 
if I was applying a filter to this thread then Dale's post would be lost 
as well also, later if doing a search in the pianotach archives results 
would be more constant if the correct protocol is used.

What Dale should have done is started a new email not reply to an email 
received from the pianotech listserv and just change the subject, that 
is the wrong way of doing it.


Regards

Barrie

1 this was just an example and could have been one of many.
