Come on. You expect people posting to mailing lists---where you actually
have to type!---to write subject lines like that? It would actually be
something like:
IRR|NoTGUn /FAKEeGN|PRIVIT(sp?): The `Flamethroewr" was (was:Re:arrrgh))
So, anyway, if I've understood your above prefix suggestions then I should be
able to post, say,
LIRR|NOGUNRI|FAKEGUM|HURD|OCTOPIC|BIGGUS|PRIVATE: Urp
which would be about a low-ranking soldier taking the Long Island Railroad
toward the site of a massacre in Korea while working on the GNU (_not_ GUN)
kernel and looking at an eight-photograph layout of a character from _The
Life of Brian_ after finding some plastic for-display-only chewing gum and
eating it.
Thanks, but I'll have a list without so much gun in it.
