Alan,
Good idea and great if everyone can subscribe to the same rules.
This is a bugbear of mine especially on other lists where often as the
message gets replied to the meaning/subject changes from the origonal topic
but the heading does not. If everyone used common sense and just checked the
heading b4 they they hit SEND then that would be great.
This is often a big issue in that some the great knowledge is buried deep in
a message has no relation to the heading!

prefixed the subject line with [MK1], similarly with [MK2] and [MK3], if
the subject was thought to be of interest to all, no prefix was added.
This makes it very simple to use the rules in almost any mail reader to
filter out unwanted postings.
I would suggest then that we could use [J40], [J60], [J70] and [J80] as
prefixes for the subject line in this list - then everyone still get all
posts but Steve (and I) can bin any posts that are marked as J80 specific.
I think if Steve created a UK J40 specific list, he'd be there himself,
I wouldn't be much better off if I started a J70 list. Anyway this list
was for all UK LC owners, not just J80s.
