I presume Corion's compliant IS NOT because of some technical difficulty in maintaining the site (eg, with mailing lists one must take into account email clients). But as far as I know PerlMonks is not used as a mailing list.

That being the case, i wouldn't mind at all if people changed the subject in replies to be more informative, as metaperl did, since the nodes remain threaded together properly anyway. It would probably also be better for title searches about a specific topic (if they occur).

However, being quite new here and having learnt a recent lesson about "codequette" (Re^4: regexp for directory), i am willing to comply with a general consensus if people have strong feelings about it (leaving the Re: header as is).

(otherwise metaperl may start a trend...)
