It would certainly make them subject specific. I couldn't explain why, but it's my feeling that it would kill off-topic threads. I'm not a hardware man, and I must have the oddest and most illogical Leica system that anybody has ever put together. Despite reading the technical hardware threads on the LUG, I have never felt the curiosity to find out what a double helical back exposure floating shutter speed is. I love photography because it is connected with life, or at least a slice of it. To an equipment oriented list, even from a leica perspective, life, would be off-topic. =20 Certainly the subject header is the easiest way to go. But we have that system already and folk are complaining. Maybe cut out the poetry and be specific. Gee Whiz. I seem to be standing on a soapbox a lot lately. =20 Alan Hull
