[OT], Howie, I know its not easy to deal with lots of posts to wikien
(though it's been extremely inactive lately), but its polite to change
the automatic and topically-ambiguous subject header to something else
- particularly the same as the posts you are responding to - when
replying to posts contained in Wikien digests.

Its a little flaw in the digest mode's functionality that subject
headers are uncorrelated with the actual topics that people are
commenting on.

Regards,
Steven
