NLT-
If I believed that literally and were (more) obtuse than I am I might start removing Subject lines entirely.
I do not believe they are superflous and depend on my own (weak but still operating) associative memory to glean something from thread:author:sequence triples when I try to decide what to (re)read thoroughly or to refer back to after someone makes a previously uninteresting/relevant (to me) thread interesting/relevant.
I don't know when I became an "old dog" but I find myself avoiding/resisting "new tricks" like the ones the Morlocks provide (e.g.
nabble) and Glen points us at from time to time (e.g SMMRY
https://smmry.com/).
FWIW I just gandered (you can verbize any noun?) nabble:FriAM and realized the last column provides a "score" or "roster" of who has had the "last word" in a given thread, for better or worse.
