3.1.3: Use descriptive subject headers. (rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan)
If you want to discuss the intermarriages of the royal houses in
Andor, use a subject line like "Royal Lineage in Andor". Threads
(lines of discussion) often drift from their original topic.
When this happens, subject lines might have little to do with the
content of the articles. Try to avoid this situation by using a
new title when you start a new thread, and try not to drift from
the topic too much within a thread. Drift is inevitable, though,
and when it happens, it's usually appropriate to rename the
thread. To continue the example above, if the topic shifts from
royal lineage to Rand's parents to intermarriages in the Two
Rivers, you might rename the thread "Two Rivers Genealogy (was
Re: Royal Lineage in Andor)" or simply "Two Rivers Genealogy".
If it shifts to non-book related material, include TAN in the
Subject line (see Section 3.3).
