Sometimes, the retitled posting relates to the original thread even though the subject has deviated too far. Quoting the part of the original posting can be a good tool to illustrate the logic behind why and what 'inspired' the retitled posting. Sometimes, it's just slacker mentality. Especially those who do not have the List address handy in their directory.
