Dare I interject a thought myself? Surely I may!
I like to leave the subject line unchanged so that the entire thread can be
retraced someday. Indeed that is such a deeply ingrained habit that I now
do it without thought. So I suppose both interpretations are correct.
I guess we should eally correct the subject line while retaining for at
least a few cycles the old subject line in addition. What does our arbiter
of linguistic etiquette say?
Jane, we are quite lucky to have you here, and even luckier in that you
generally put up with our nattering and give us a sensible answer.

There's ambiguity in the nature of the problem. If it's corrected.. is it
still the subject. Disambiguate please --as in a big Wikipedia
