Actually, JDG has put "brin" in the subject line only once since Dr.
Brin last made the request to remove it, and he re-posted soon after
asking folks to respond to the version that had "brin" stripped out of
the subject line. (Of course, someone else responded to the version
that still had "brin" in the subject line, despite the request not to do
so.)
The post with "brin" in the subject line that Jean-Louis was responding
to was posted by The Fool. It just happened to mention JDG in the part
that Jean-Louis quoted.
Right now, Dr. Brin is on "nomail", so he's not getting the posts. But
we really need to watch the subject lines. All of us, myself among the
"especially" crowd.
Let's practice by taking it out of ALL subject lines until the
election. If you're replying to something that had "brin" in the
subject line, take it out before you hit send. Thanks!

who will be monitoring posts and noting who might need frequent
reminders when the good doctor returns
