Great idea Steve! Ok, lets make a rule then... in the post, say, if it is
about..umm.. weather, the subject line should look like this:
Subject: NCR: Weather
(NCR=Non-Connells-related)
I think that will work best. Easy for everyone! I would also like to
encourage everyone to read the posts, too... its great to get input from
everyone on the other subjects (like my Guinness Fleadth thread.. thanks
for all of the replies!!)
Hope you all have a great Friday!!
