Just a (hopefully) helpful reminder ... there's a fair amount of traffic
to wade through as one reads the Usenet news.  Good `Subject:' lines
are very important.

Do yourself and others a favor by selecting an appropriate `Subject:'
line, so that people don't waste time reading things that aren't of
interest to them or questions that they can't answer.

Something like `386bsd questions' is fairly useless.  Something more
specific will help you and your readers:

	Subject: ifconfig, com1 lockups, console driver, etc. ?

The less descriptive your `Subject:' line the more likely people will
skip it without reading it.


Thanks for listening.
