Since the conversations here are threaded there is no real reason you can't change your title. If readers want to know how nodes are connected they can use the threaded view.

Yes, I'm inclined to agree. I dropped in here -- as I presume you did -- because I just received a nag message from "jdporter" (which I suspect was automatically generated), and I'm trying to figure out what the issue is here, and I still don't get it. It would appear that the system is broken (at least from the point of view of people who track "newest nodes"), and rather than fix the system they would rather bitch at us clueless newbies.

If you guys want a particular type of subject renaming style you should write up a style guide -- you know, like a SYNOPSIS section -- don't make us hunt around for examples of the approved ways of doing it.

You also might want to ponder that for several decades netiquette has strongly recommended changing subject names to reflect the content of a posting.
