Actually, as has been known and said for _ages_, it's the best way to
get THOSE WHO KNOW to ignore you. Do you want to get lots of replies,
or do you want an accurate, en pointe answer to your problem?

Often, that's excellent advice! What's wrong with it?
If you use a decent Subject: line, and you say, "I read the dox, and
still don't understand $blah!", you'll have people falling all over
you trying to fix your problem. They'll also be the BEST people;
those who appreciate helping people who at least TRY to help
themselves. Those people also ignore Subject: lines like yours (until
they're forced to notice them, like now).
