LAH: Suggested header acronyms
This is a wonderful idea. I would like to suggest a couple of possibilities
for list members to mull over.
FTGH: "Free to Good Home"
OT: "Off topic"
ROT: "Really off topic"
SFOTIWLSIMJ: "So Far Off Topic it was Last Sighted in Moose Jaw"
DON: "Interesting in a not-fully-comprehensible sort of way"
JAR: "Just another Rant" (you know who you are...)
FF: "Friday Funnies"
FNVF: "Friday not very funnies"
LAH: "Lame Attempt at Humour
FITTJACAPLSIMBFF: "Friday 'I told this joke at coffee and people laughed so
it *must* be funny' Funnies"
(Or it might be simpler just to put some kind of acronym at the beginning of
posts that actually related to Archives. :-])

If I may delurk for a moment and make a suggestion --
-- on other lists I'm on we have header abbreviations that help delineate
parts of the message. For example, on one list we have DRIB (Don't
Read if Busy.) May I suggest for archives that we have FTGH (Free to
Good Home)? So as Elizabeth suggested, You could have:
FTGH: Rhoda Kaufman Diary
This would have two benefits. It would help folks like Elizabeth easily
identify
items of possible interests, and it would allow non-archivists like me to
filter out
Free to Good Home messages.
Just a thought. Back to lurk mode. I'm enjoying this list very much!
