ADMIN: Check yer titles!

Hi everyone,

This is a wee reminder to check the titles of your posts before hitting
send.

**If a thread has drifted from the gleam in Dumbledore's eye to the
symbolism embodied by socks, the title should reflect that.  If it's
transitional it could say, for example: "How about those socks? (was re:
Dumbledore's gleam of triumph)".

**If you are receiving Digests, please remember to change the heading from
re: Digest #666 to "Lily's eye colour" or whatever when responding to one of
the posts.

**If you are initiating a thread (or what you hope will be a thread and not
a post of great insight that dies on its uppers), remember to check that you
actually *have* a title.  If someone else forgets (hey, we're all human...
well, most of us), please don't continue the journey into the "[unknown]"
when responding - stick in a title.

**If you are combining several shorter responses, please note each topic
briefly in the title, e.g. "Lily's eyes - Dumbledore's triumph -
Crookshanks' origins".

**Remember to use the FF (fanfic) and SHIP (relationshipping) prefixes on
titles when appropriate [as noted in our Admin files].

All this might seem obvious, but when people are having to scan scores of
messages a day, as most of us are, it really helps if the titles are
relevant.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Magically,

Neil
