Sure it's something a good amateur detective could figure out, my thought was for posterity and of easily searching the wealth of info that folks contribute for later perusal by new folks.

Andy -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Chaltain Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2012 12:49 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Text Detective [was "Re: The Sherlock Holmes Of OCR Apps"] Are you saying that the subject line should be changed to include "Text Detective" so people wanting information on Text Detective could easily find it in the future? If so, I went ahead and added that to the subject line, but there's no reason you couldn't have done that as well Jon! *smile* This is not a serious complaint or criticism, but just a gentle nudge. Also, although it's true that "Text Detective" wasn't in the subject line, "OCR" was, so I think most people looking for information on Text Detective would still stumble across it, but thinking about good subject lines is a good point. I was looking through my folders on posts concerning GPS apps, and I definitely appreciate good subject lines!
