	Let's put into the mix that some of us -- I plead guilty --
	have no hesitation in revising and extending the Subject,

(Is not E-mail properly like a conversation?  can one make rules? can
one enforce said rules?  Perhaps we should all read Castiglione or
Lord Chesterfield, thus developing exquisite conversational manners?
The comfort is: the inverse of Gresham's Law obtains.  More attention
will be paid to the person who E-mails with consideration and thought)
