While the "RE: " x $n form is quite hideous. I mainly don't like the idea of RE: in general, I would rather people put more thought into their posts.

My belief is that if you take the time to make a subject line to your post thoughtful, your post will be more thoughtful too.

That's why in my original post (the one before the one before ..pause.. right!), I suggested removal of a default subject line, and the requirement of a non-blank subject line before you are allowed to post (perhaps even a minimum char limit of 4-5 to keep people from hitting space)

Cheers,
Gryn

p.s. but simplly getting rid of your "RE: " x $n syndrome would make me significantly happier. I just don't think that will solve all problems beyond eye-happiness. :)
