[NLRS] Is there some RULE against changing Subject lines?

Sat Dec 5 09:27:17 EST 2009

Perhaps such RULE that I am NOT aware of...

THIS branch of the original e-mail chain certainly seems to have 
LITTLE to do with "A good 10 GHz site?" but "WD9BGA Beacon" 
certainly 'nails' it. And not intending this to 'pick' on 
Zack...prior e-mails in this branch could have similarly 
benefitted from Subject amendment.

Sorry, maybe too much caffeine for me on a Saturday morning, but 
it certainly seems that it would be easy enough to take a few 
extra seconds to take a look at the Subject line and see if it 
would benefit by an edit to better reflect the 'content' of the 
present e-mail before hitting "Send".

My two cents (or maybe worth only ONE cent in this case). Thanks 
for reading.

73, JK
