Subject lines and changes
[email protected]
Referring to the recent thread, "Looking for Insights"---not to pick on
the original poster because it happens a lot---But I just want to point
out that that doesn't really give us a clue as to what the subject
matter IS.
I don't even remember what the original subject WAS! <g> Things morph
so much here!
But *if* the original issue were speech concerns, entitling it "speech
concerns" would help members focus and keep from deleting or bypassing.
Gail could have chimed in---and *would* have if she had seen it. But I
know how busy she is *right now* and that she's probably deleting a lot
without bothering to read. I tend to gloss over posts with "sibling" in
the title. (I read everything because it's my list, but I don't focus
on everything necessarily). But if Gail had seen "speech" in the title,
she would have locked on immediately.
So being more specific in our titles/subject matter can be really,
really helpful!
Also, if the subject *does* morph, changing the subject line is equally
as helpful.
Thanks---and back to you regularly schedule elist. <g>

Actually she has more then one topic and they seemed to be related to each
other. I don't know which is harder one morphing subject or multiple topics
on the same child and having to flip back and forth to get the whole story.
