 Now that we have our own area, can we agree NOT to rename the SUBJECT line in a thread.  For example, the thread that started with Negative Buoyancy Rally, went through these configurations because people changed the NAME in the SUBJECT LINE.
 
 Started with " Lake Chabot Negative Buoyancy Rally ... "  by Red
 I changed the subject to " Four and a Half Pounds of KAZOOS"
 Brian added " SactoCampers is on board... "
 Nick put in the subject " Food"
 Nick then added " Free Sinatra Friday! "
 Ray went with " Larry s Name Competition... "  and then " On Chabot attendance... "  and then " On Dixie Dregs"
 Nick added " Chabot"
 Sacto with " Negative Buoyancy"
 
 If one REPLIES to the icon in a message, the new message will contain the subject of the message you are replying to.  I haven t figured out exactly how the subject is chosen if one clicks on the POST REPLY icon on the bottom of the page.
 
 And the problem I see is that when I use the POSTS SINCE LAST VISIT option, I can get three or four different subjects that have been replied to....ALL leading to the same thread.  This also makes it hard to remember which thread contains which topics.
 
 So, I offer this suggestion.  Please don t change the SUBJECT in the thread.  If you have a different topic you want to discuss, please start a NEW THREAD.  Do you think this is a good idea?

 gsm x2Absolutely rude to change thread names for someone.  It s like,
 
 - Bussing someone s plate while they re still eating
 - Pulling away before someone s completely in the car
 - Walking away while in the middle of a conversation
 
 Now who in this group would do something like that?
