Names in the Subject Line

by Bill Meredith


My apologies to Pedro for my last post. After enduring a seemingly endless thread on "Bill Meredith's Excellent Post" I know the feeling of seeing one's name associated with continuing thought processes that one might not choose to associate with one's name.

It does appear that some people use other people's names as a way of keeping various thoughts, concepts, and ideas separate and readily identifiable. On the whole, I don't think any harm is meant by most people who do this, but the occasional "calling out" through the derisive or sarcastic categorizing of one's thoughts by those who should know better is enough to cause one to ask that one's name not be used in subject lines at all. If, at some future date, some person should desire to know all that I, or Pedro, or anyone else has said on this list, that person need only conduct a search on the "from" line. Therefore, I agree with Pedro. Subject lines are for subjects. Henceforth I shall make an effort to examine the subject line on any message to which I respond for the continued appropriateness of the words placed there instead of just replying to the text and automatically leaving the subject line unimproved.

Thanks Pedro,



bill

Subject: Theos-World Enough of me!


Trying to honour the Buddhist tradition, I would like
to invite fellow-posters on theos-talk to help me
ending "Pedro" as the subject of posts. After all, we
are trying to discuss Theosophy and related matters,
and not the persons who are posting messages.
