  34 <PRE>     Two things.  First, can we please modify subject lines when the
  35 thread content changes?  That'll make it easier for people who aren't
  36 interested in reading the messages to skip past them.  Second:
  37
  38 &gt;<i>If I may interupt you, this is still a list regarding IRC Services, not a
  39 </I>&gt;<i>classroom environment focused on proper RFC procedures. I would greatly
  40 </I>&gt;<i>apreciate you sticking to that topic, as I along with several other members
  41 </I>&gt;<i>of this list have many other emails to filter through, and have little time
  42 </I>&gt;<i>to read off topic posts. You are more than welcome to argue this point in
  43 </I>&gt;<i>private with whom ever else is interested since you obviously know where to
  44 </I>&gt;<i>find the &quot;from field&quot; on an email.
  45 </I>
  46      Actually, this _is_ relevant IMO; while I agree it's getting out of
  47 hand, the original complaint is a valid one and should be addressed one
  48 way or another.  And please don't flame back; it only makes things worse.
  49
  50      It's really a simple matter--when you reply to the list, check your
  51 To and CC lines and make sure there's only one copy of the list address in
  52 there.  (Actually, checking your To and CC lines is a good idea in any
  53 case; I do it as a matter of habit.)  Yes, there are ways to solve this on
  54 the server's side too, but just because someone else _could_ do something
  55 to solve the problem doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can.
