Those take too much space in the header, but what about: "News: " - News clippings from newspapers etc "Info: " - Info on meetings etc "Meds: " - Talk about medicins, new and old "Don: " - Important messages :) (These I think are in use already, right?) "Non PD: " - Chatting, joking "QT: " - Quotes "Poem: " Short and understandable? (But as I said before, this does not solve the problem. A scheme like this requires everyone to change the subject header everytime a thread moves off the original topic, and 99% of any Net population just don't take those extra seconds to change it. This discussion pops up everywhere where the flow is high, but it rarely makes a big difference in the long run. This doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but don't set your hopes too high.) /John - realist or cynic, take your pick...
