Descriptive subject line goes here

Hi Tim, Call options (cont)
RE: "I'll comment on it in a few hours or a day or so."
Are you going to add comments to this (the topic was call options). Am interested in reading it. >>
Maybe.
<<RE: "Understood. But I believe comments here in this forum are for anyone to respond to"
RE could stand for anything: reply, responding, regarding, or even regarding another topic. My only point was that sometimes I miss the smaller ". >>
But since nearly every post to SI is a reply to another article, rather than a "new subject," a "RE:" is redundant and takes up space in the subject line that could be devoted to a _descriptive_ subject.
Anyway, since SI seemingly lacks good quoting tools (like showing included quotes with a ">" or similar symbol), we all have to roll our own.
I have been using the "<< stuff >> " approach recently.
Also, if you're thinking you may miss articles in response to your own, check your INBOX. Should be posts following up _your_ posts in your INBOX, so you can't miss them.
