Wrong: Send a message with a stupid subject line that doesn't give
anybody any reason to read your message. What the hell is
"Is it really OK" supposed to refer to?
Right: Write your subject in a way that accurately, and succinctly,
describes your message.
Wrong: Hijack a thread by replying to something completely different.
Right: Start a new message. Use that feature in your mail client that
actually says to create a new message. If your message is not
a reply to a message, then do NOT use the reply feature of a
mail client.
Wrong: Lose your message in the middle of someone else's thread by
hijacking a thread.
Right: Start a new message for a new thread. See above.
Wrong: Ignore advice you receive, and argue with people advising you.
