[ddj] data-driven-journalism Digest - general notes on mailing lists

Wed Jun 26 23:13:45 UTC 2013

Hello there,

I am a relatively new subscriber and find the information on this list
fantastic along with the tone of the community.
I have, however noticed that most of us ignore a basic principle of any
mailing lists, one that makes this platform useable and great, which is
**Editing subject lines on replies and digest mails to reflect the topic
one comments on**. It's doubly important as list mailers and email clients
both parse this information.

Just looking at this very email I am replying to now and the number of
topics interwoven into its body - good luck to us all to find the relevant
info, especially in a week or month time when we come back and try to refer
to a piece of info in it.

I hope that my mail triggers no more and no less than a little additional
attention to make this forum even more useful to all of us.

Thanks and keep up the good work everyone!
Peter
