Hi.
It's certainly nice when thread titles and thread contents align, but
often life gets in the way. The free flow of ideas in our discussions
takes us on many paths. Sometimes splitting to a separate thread makes
sense (and people do it), but other times a new thread doesn't happen
because people are lazy or forgetful or don't see the need. For me, this
issue mostly just highlights the need for decent search. (Plus, of course,
naming things is a notoriously hard problem in computer science. ;-)
In terms of mailing list gripes, lack of inline replies from people who
know better (you know who you are!) and lengthy e-mail signatures bother
me more than useless thread titles, but these are all trivial complaints.
