     I'd like to make a request of all users of net.followup.  It is
     often difficult to determine what submission follows up what
     other submission, as the titles don't always match.  In addition,
     in scanning net.followup (and net.flame) I occasionally come across
     a followup to an article of interest but am unable to locate the
     article because it is not at all clear from the subject matter
     in which notesfile to look.  May I propose a new subject heading
     for articles in net.followup (and net.flame):

	  <notesfile>:<start of title of article being referenced>

     e.g. 
     
	  net.general:junk spewing out onto t

     and may I propose that the body of each submission mention the
     date on which the article being referenced was posted, so people
     can reasonable hope to locate the original article.

				Thanks,

                            Dave Rabinowitz
