No need for that, privided attention is paid to the subject line. It is all 
too easy just to click on REPLY, and have a subject line that 
referred to an old story.

For instance, the discussions on how to derive accurate timing from 
frequency standards are very boring to me, but I can usually spot 
them from the subject line and it takes a fraction of a second to 
delete them.

I would not be in favour of removing such discussions from the 
reflector as they are very interesting to many active members of the 
group - just not to me.
