I almost never look at the subject line. It's a character defect, and as surprising as it might seem to some people, it's not my only one. I know, I know--I don't want to shatter anyone's illusions of me, but it's true.

Unfortunately, correcting this defect is not high on my priorities list. But on the bright side, if someone I am exchanging messages with changes the subject, I am likely to go with the flow. Received on Thu Sep 04 2003 - 22:44:38 CEST
