[Lingtyp] Please don't change the subject line when responding

[Hedvig Skirgård]

Hello all,

This is just a short plea: please don't fork threads unnecessarily, i.e.
start a new thread by changing the subject line. The LINGTYP archives can
handle it (see here:
http://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/lingtyp/2016-January/thread.html)
but most of us have email clients that cannot. What happens is an entirely
new thread gets started in our inboxes, and suddenly I have multiple
threads going on with almost identical subject lines.This means that
information gets spread in different threads despite referring to the same
discussion.

It gets very intense and confusing. These past few days have been really
fun and rewarding, and I'd like to be able to keep up.

So, please don't change the subject line when you respond to an email from
this list.

Best,
Hedvig
