FWIW, I (and probably others) sort the huge volume of incoming IBM-MAIN posts into threads by subject. If a thread's subject line does not touch on one of my areas of expertise or curiosity then I don't even open it.
The point being that if one posts a note with a title of "two questions" to cite another recent particularly technically non-descriptive subject line, the expert who might have been best able to answer the question(s) may never see it. Second, one cannot emphasize too much John's point about enhancing or decreasing the usefulness of the archives.

But realize some folks are new to the service (like me) and therefore not familiar with what works best.
