Yeah, we are really waxing on, aren't we? ;-)

Right. As any neandertal BBS sysop of yore (this includes dinosaurs like Raj
and me ;) can tell you - threading on subject is a big no no. If there is
*one* thing you can bank on it is that message subjects rarely relate to
message bodies. ;-)
BTW - someone sent me a private suggestion of turning the "[linux-india]"
subject tag into just "[linux]" or "[li]" - maybe it will satisfy those not
entirely happy with the concept.
