Have you by any chance been reading the rest of this thread?  The subject
lines in question are in violation of RFC1050.  Are you claiming that we
should not enforce it?  Then you'd best start trying to convince people that
neither RFC1050 nor any other standard for Usenet messages should exist, and
that anyone can put anything they want anywhere in a message.
