Hi Alan,
I  read all of your comments and fully understand. Thanks for explaining and 
being easy on me. I've seen alot of angles on the IRCA and how the club 
inter-acts and the list is yet another side of it. It really does vary 
accordingly.  I'm not the historian of the club, but I think we tend to be a 
little more easy going than some other ones. (The main reason I love this 
club)  The list can be a great attribute but I understand it isn't for 
everyone.(they're own decision). An additional email address may increase 
the ability to separate/ organize messages away from you're general email 
cache.

If I'm narrowing the topic or branching off of it, I try to change the 
subject either completely or partially to reflect that, but sometimes it 
needs to stay for continuity, both for reading or deleting a message 
beforehand. A sequential ID is a good Idea, but I don't know how it would be 
instituted or it's real benefits utilized. (any comments out there?)

Good luck with the ARES training and your project below. (interesting)
Best of DX, 73 de Doug - KE6GMM
