Yes, I know.

I've occasionally tried changing subject lines, but it usually gets 
ignored, and that makes things worse. I think. Is it worse to have 
different topics under one subject heading, or the same topic under 
different subject headings? I can't decide for certain, but I'm 
inclining towards the latter.
