Re: DIS: Re: BUS: I buy a Stamp, transferring 6 shinies to Agora to do so.

Additional arguments: See CFJ 3409. It lists the following as tests of subject line action effectiveness: 1. Are there multiple actions that can be inferred? No. 2. Is there a real doubt as to what is intended?. No. 3. Is timing an issue? (multiple events in the message). No. 4.
