I am getting annoyed at the increasing number of articles which have some
inane subject heading like "Submission for mod-computers-vax". OF COURSE
that is what it is, or else it would not be here! With the increasing
volume of items in this group, I am becoming very selective about which items
I bother to read (and I am sure others do this too); all items with such
subject lines are selected for automatic skipping.
I realise this is done by some gateways, but let's not blame the software,
it was written by somebody. How about fixing it to include the REAL subject?

In addition to the obnoxious "Submission for..." subject headings, someone out there in netland is rebroadcasting messages so we see the same things twice, three, and more times. Cut it out, please!

Hear hear! (Read read? :-)
Of the 87 articles I get to read in comp.os.vms today, not only are about
20 "Submission for mod-computers-vax" but I have seen most of the latter before!
With a real subject line!
I could do nicely without "Subject: (none)" too.
