reverting subject - OT

Sorry for being OT, I'll keep it short:

Reverting the subject defeats the purpose of it being editable in the first place, and makes thread browsing more difficult because subthreads and response content are not easily identifiable. As a matter of fact, it is counterproductive as the subject soon ends up wildly off considering the actual message content.

By changing the Subject to a meaningful summary, it was my intention to indicate a related matter and not a direct response to the parent post, so others can easily choose to follow or ignore everything under it afterwards, had the new subject been allowed to propagate in the replies.
