I am delighted when a member starts a new thread - but PLEASE can I ask you, when you do, to put enough information in the subject line for it to give a summary - headline - of what it's about.  The new (mobile phone friendly) front pages do use the headlines to help people navigate - here is what I'm seeing today and these are good titles.

It's a good idea to include both a link and a short quotation in the body of the post too - again such a help as screen sizes get smaller, and it makes our archive so much more useful into the future.  Thanks!

Edit note: Minor corrections to spelling and grammar, purely for clarity.  Chris from Nailsea.
