Update request to Boost Discussion Policy maintainers
Folks, May I request to update the "Effective Posting" section of the policy at: http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html#effective adding the following new sub-section as first: """ Use Sensible Subject Please make sure that your postings have a meaningful subject line that is related to the contents of your mail. Many people use this to help determine which posts to read and which to ignore when they're operating under time constraints. """ Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

I don't think there are such things as "Boost Discussion Policy maintainers". Maybe a more descriptive subject line would have helped? (sorry, I couldn't resist).

Seems like a reasonable addition, although it should probably go after 'Put the Library Name in the Subject Line', since the library name is written before the subject. But tbh. I don't think most people read that page, so I doubt it'd make much of a difference. There's too much text on the website already.

Someone has written it, so there must be an author.

I agree, so let me please correct myself: "Update request to Boost Discussion Policy authors or maintainers" Apart from that, the flick is a bit off the mark (my subject is clear).

Sure.

I agree, it's good to have an URL to policy handy to react with on some ignorance. Anyway, no die hard here. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
