I tried a bulleted list and it was pretty ugly. I only have rudimentary html knowledge and have no idea whether it can be fixed in a Google page. Maybe I should enable members to edit the page for 24 hours in the hope that someone here would tweak it? > One suggestion for content improvement: subjects should be > short, but specific.

However, we're conversing in a thread called "Hello, how to do?" and I was just hoping to improve on that. It might need a fair bit of writing skill to do better than my proposed examples, and I was wanting to suggest a minimum standard, while pointing out that terms like "question on" and "how do I" are probably not needed in a Subject. Would more precision really be worthwhile in a mailing list? John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
