It is in fact overly wordy; e.g. /subject header lines/ vs simply
the one word /subject/ or /"Subject:"/? Stating both worthless and
useless? Seems the emphasis was used to the extreme, thus overkill,
having ending up with the message being lost to the audience IMO.
Chuck-
I wasn't even going to read this message until I saw that you responded. I
agree that the subject line is in conflict with his message intent.
Perhaps our anonymous poster needs to take some hints from Eric Raymond's
excellent 'How To Ask Question The Smart Way' page:

(I re-read this page at least once a year!)
