Well, some of us consider it appropriate to change subject lines to
reflect the CONTENT of the message. This is a *service*. Nothing is
worse than a misleading subject line. (Like this subject for example
-- this message has nothing to do with OS/2 or Win 95)

And secondly, while some of the people involved, such as the juvenile
"Big Bear" ARE flamers, using typical flamer's tactics such as foul
language and insults, as a whole it would be hard to describe this
debate as a "flame war" in any true sense.

Frankly I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with this
thread -- if you don't want to read it, don't. There are many threads on
this group that I don't read, yet I don't complain about them -- what's
*your* problem?
