Not that I'm the list dad, but... just what's annoying? Messages that
don't have any content? :-) Seriously, if you're talking about the folks
that reply from w/in a Digest and never bother to change the subject line,
this is a known social ill of this (and probably other) mailing lists. Now,
it *would* be nice if the list's software would reject submissions having
like that, but for me, it's not too important. I just summarily delete any
message that comes through with such a subject line. If someone wants me to
take the time to read their posting, the least they can do is to be bothered
to change the subject line.
