Talk: Subject line IDs *Please read*

   Many people have begun to use subject line IDs.  And that's good.  It 
lets you know what's in a post.

   Just one thing.  Please try to change the ID when you follow up a 
post.  For example, if you are answering a request, change the word 
'request' to 'Line' or 'GIF' or 'Animation' or whatever is appropriate.

   This serves two basic purposes.  It allows you to read the group in a 
newsreader selector by articles.  Also, it lets you use a kill file to 
skip what you don't want to see.

    So please change those subject lines when posting follow ups.  I'll 
try to change those that are not changed by the poster for posts to 
r.a.a (or cross-posts that include r.a.a).
