Re: [AI] A few thoughts on subjecct lines and postings.
Just to add: It's also a good idea to avoid vague subjects like: "help wanted", "please read inside the mail" etc. Instead one should tell the list members exactly what they need in terms of suggestions, guidance, assistance etc. Frankly, I don't even open messages containing such subject lines.

I agree with you! -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Balaram Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 2:17 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] A few thoughts on subjecct lines and postings. Dear list, Would like to share my thoughts on subject lines and postings. Can't we avoid continuing discussion on the same subject for long? For example, The topic behavior of my superior is on the list for at least more than a week. Still the topic is continuing even after the moderator's suggestion of closing the thread. Can't we go on a much faster pace covering more topics? Then again, the subject lines has much importance as far as a list has concerned. For example, A query, help needed, somethings to share ETC. These subject lines don't reflect the actual need or the topic a person wishes to discuss or share with the list. Of course, one can open the Email and read the contence. But, due to the heavy traffic on the list and persons subscribing to different lists such as this, Won't it be a good idea to put appropriate subject lines to allow the member to open the Emails of his or her choice? Again, can't we send the congratulatory messages to the concerned persons? I think, this is the most repeated suggestion in the list over the years. Finally, I will be much appreciative if you read this Email and give it a thought before sending the next posting to the list. These are my personal thoughts and no offense is meant to any member of the list. Regards, P. Balaraman.
