Marking Questions In The MMD Subject Line
By Randolph Herr

Hi gang --  Here is a little suggestion.  I find it frustrating to
see an article in MMD (uh oh, capitals) with a title like "Wind Motor
Timing" or "Valve Travel" only to discover that it is a question,
like "How do I time a wind motor?".

I suggest that questions have a Q: prefix to the title so people
reading MMD or searching through archives can know which articles are
simply questions.  Whaddaya think?

Randolph Herr

 [ Would someone like to create a cross-index of MMD articles for us?
 [ That would solve the biggest problem: namely, that articles often
 [ answer one question and then pose another interesting question.
 [ Sometimes there's not enough space in the subject line to list
 [ the major questions and topics.  -- Robbie
