I couldn't disagree with you more. HOCKEY-L's purpose is the dissemination
of information about college hockey. Readers who would prefer not to see
game results should refrain from reading HOCKEY-L messages during the time
in which they prefer to stay "in the dark."
During the course of the season, I comb the list to find game results to use
in updating the WCHA standings and compiling RPICH. I am always happy to
find scores included in subject lines.
Also, I believe that Wayne has officially encouraged posters to include
scores in their subject lines.
As Wayne has told us many times, "Discussion of what belongs on HOCKEY-L,
doesn't belong on HOCKEY-L." Perhaps this point should be discussed during
the off-season, when Wayne re-opens the HOCKEY meta-discussion list. In the
meantime, since you aren't the list owner, I don't think you should attempt
to dictate the contents of subject lines.
