Fair enough. I don't care if others want it. I do care if they feel they can
force it on those that don't want it because they do.

No, it's having fought this fight dozens of times over the years on various
lists, and knowing that every time I survey ALL of the users, and not just
those demanding I add these bloody subject line flags, that the % of users
who actually want it will be under 15% of the total subscribers. But that
15% feels they're preference overrides the much larger group that DOESN'T
want it.
It's a squeaky wheel thing. Like most other humans, list admins don't want
justice, they want quiet. So squeaky wheels tend to get what they squeak
for. And to even the tally, I got squeaky back.
