Hello,

I received a reply to the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg98607.html  In 
the reply, the person mentioned that the biggest problem in coping 
with high-volume discursive discussions is knowing which messages to 
read.  The suggestion is to contact each person who starts a new 
topic of discussion without also changing the subject header [1] of 
the message and ask him/her to try and start a new topic of 
discussion in future by also changing the subject header.

Changing the subject header is optional.  If it is easy for you, 
please consider giving it a try.  If you do not think that it is a 
good idea, or have any other reason for not doing it, it is okay not 
to give it a try.  At my end, I can give this experiment a try until 
23 September if what I am doing is not considered as objectionable.

The next step is for me to figure out whether having a subject header 
which matches the new topic of discussion is what ietf@ietf.org 
subscribers expect.  Could you please comment by Friday 17 June about 
whether it matches, or does not match, your expectations?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

1. A simple explanation is that the subject header of this message is
