Change to:
5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like
"Help!!", "A Question", etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. Many
people see this as rude and will ignore your mail outright, myself
included.
(Does it make sense to put "urgent help needed!" in your subject? Isn't
everyone's email "urgent" to one degree or another?)
8. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved
your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their
email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping
the next person with the same question.
