Default TIP: subject matter

This is just IMHO

When asking questions please try not to use HELP or QUESTION or MACRO PROBLEM
in the subject.
The fact that you're writing already tells the reader that.

Instead, put a few key words in the subject eg
"Save With Filename construction"

this gives the reader some idea of what the question may be about - and its
likely that you'll get a response sooner if a reader is "attracted" by the
question - maybe becasue they just read or answered a similar one ...

thank you

I agree Patrick,

Its easier for other Ng readers to search for their problem in
previous postings,
allowing them to see related problems easily.
