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.
