OK, I had not read them all, so I was not sure. But some of those I 
read was rather "sub-topic" (as you call them).

I wasn't trying to say that I disagreed with anyone. I rather felt
helpless about not knowing the (sub-)subject" of all these postings.

Wouldn't it bee an idea to add the sub-topic at the end of the 
original subject (like I did)?

Or would this cause problems with some news-readers?
