All I am asking is that the subject lines be changed/altered to reflect the
content within.  Why is that a problem? How is that "moderating".  As I see
it, it's simple common courtesy...that way, the rest of us do not need to be
subjected to posts we are not interested in.  How are we supposed to know
that the content of a certain thread has changed if no one bothers to change
the subject line?

You suggested that I delete posts I am not interested in reading...how can I
do that if I don't know what it's about until I actually read the post?  
Kindda defeats the purpose doesn't it??

I'm beginning to understand that you just like to argue!

I'll agree (that klunk we just heard was Jon's head hitting the keyboard)
that the post was well put, and that all the listers should be respected.

The problem for me is the idea of moderating (any more than we already are
by the list OWNER's rules) an unmoderated list by a disgruntled list member.
I know there are some people (haven't forgotten about you Dimplz!) who will
remember a couple weeks ago, I came out pretty vocally against the
forwarding of jokes to the list.  The difference between that and the issue
at hand (especially considering Ross's litany of blonde jokes) is that the
jokes were forwarded in clear violation of a posted rule. Also, I wasn't
necessarily trying to moderate, just making a point in a larger thread.
