Two issues appearing in the "Next Generation" Thread

#01: Subject Headers

many out here use filtering to seperate and control multiple postings based on 
subject header information  ...

where does this go ??? ... and how many copies will show up there ??? ... it's 
becoming a mess folks


#02 Multiple Copies

Most people carry the kingdom, their regional (or more), and their local.  is 
it necessary to post your message to *every* message base ???  unsually kingdom 
level information only needs go to kingdom level message bases ... like the 
newsletter, if you want to know whats happening at kingdom, tune to that 
channel (please, no side threads on "too many messages in ANST ... it's a 
kingdom level so you must expect this" ... you could say same about BlackStar 
as well ... IMHO)


this new thread is creating a flood of multiple copies (does nothing to re-
inforce message) with the wrong subject lines that are fouling up the filter 
and control systems many use to manage teh information flow ... so PLEASE ... 

* edit your subject line appropriately of teh messages you are replying to 
before sending

* ask yourself if there really needs to be multiple copies or more of a 
response (check the "TO" field you are replying to before sending ...)
