    Is it just me, or is this whole thread pointless?  When I read the
original rant I just chuckled, shook my head and deleted it.  Why?  Because
it is counterpoint to another peeve people have.  That one is when a thread
moves away from what the subject states and noone changes it.  I don't think
people reply to any ol' message to create a new message, but are replying to
a message and were courtious enough to change the subject and now someone is
bitching about it.
