So the summary of my proposal is as follows:
1.) An issue has been identified with the list whereby
improper archival will likely lead to repeat questions and unnecessary
traffic to the list.
2.) I propose that we discontinue the act of subject
modification to indicate a change in status of the issue (SOLVED,
ALSO, ANOTHER PROBLEM, etc.) unless a completely different problem is
reached or question is asked. This will allow a step-by-step document
(of sorts) to be created and made "searchable" on the web.

This has been the expected behavior (adding [SOLVED]) for a long time
though it does not occur as often as it should. It has been in the
NEWBIE GUIDE for a long time and has been a de-facto standard on IT or
computer related mailing lists like this for years.
