OK, that's your view.

I do not intend doing that. I have been a member for many years.

It is not the wishes of one person. I've had a couple of emails from others
agreeing with me. Most however have not put their comments on the list. I
invite
them to do so.
Constantly changing the subject line is not the normal way for people to reply
to emails or posts. I'm not saying there is an appropriate IEEE or ISO
standard,
but replying to a message, leaving the subject in tact, is very common
practice.
Very recently 'amps' seems to have departed from that.
People often sort emails by subject, to enable them to find all the posts on a
particular subject. It is undoubtedly one of the options on your email client,
but is less useful if someone changes the subject line.
Likewise, when searching for something with Google, people can come across an
archived copy of 'amps' of something of interest, and then do a search on the
subject to find all the discussions on the topic. That is also impossible if
the
subject is changed.
If you search the amps archives, you will find it possible to find all the
posts
on one thread. That again becomes less useful a new thread is started.
Thank you for your comments.
