A gentle flame.  Please try to make your subject headers informative.
You will be helping yourself to reach the readers you are trying to address.
Particularly, watch out for these:

--------
>> Subject: Re: orphaned response
	
ORPHANED REPONSE TO WHAT??? Why not say:

Subject: Re: The balls and bowls puzzle; orphan.

-------

>> Subject: Re: Abortion, Gun control and Creationism (long article)
>> (7 lines)

WATCH THAT "long article"! The original may have been long, but perhaps

(Should this note be posted to any other news groups?)
