Here we are. I have an online “journal”. Let’s see what happens.
Yesterday, I posted in the Astounding Websites forum about subject lines.
Thirty minutes later, my suggestion was approved and implemented.
It is quite a strange feeling when a little suggestion, dropped in a space populated by people who have no idea that you exist, has such an immediate and concrete effect.

The post is long gone – but in short, I was recommending to remove the “default” subject line in reply posts.
It forces the poster to write down a subject, and it is usually a more helpful one than “Re: whatever the first poster wrote in his subject line”.
