[I cancelled the article with the excess lines; if the  can-
cel didn't work, sorry]

     I gotta gripe here!

     Seems that whenever a lively  discussion  of  something
gets  going,  response  after  response  piles  up  and  the
exchange evolves, (as exchanges do)  into  something  wholly
unrelated  to  the  original  subject.   And, dammit, nobody
changes the subject line!

     Here I am, led to believe that I'm about  to  read  the
next comment on Reagan's mike test, and lo and behold, I get
something about Lebanon or federal funding of  abortions  or
something!

     C'mon, folks, let's take a few seconds and  update  the
Subject: line when it no longer applies to the posting.

     Thank you, especially those  who  have  been  doing  so
already.
