You've probably not helped your candidacy by breaking two of the golden rules of mailing list etiquette. :-)

Could everyone please take care to use meaningful and relevant Subject: headers? And in particular, *never, ever* reply to a list digest message. Thanks.

In case this needs further explanation, here's what I posted about this subject last year:

Replies to message digests create unnecessary and easily avoided problems. Here are the main ones:

[1] It messes up the article threading used by everybody’s mail clients.
[2] It’s not clear which message(s) in the digest are being replied to.
[3] The list archives contain completely useless Subject: headers (like "iot-wg Digest, Vol X, Issue Y”) which make it difficult when browsing the archives to find out who said what and when.

Item [3] becomes a real nuisance if/when there’s a need to consult the list archives to verify a consensus decision or review the development of things such as policy proposals.
