Roy Kelley - you are so right about it.

May be, something that should be changed.

However this is so trivial - I am fine with it. I am afraid if they try to change this, it will impact other things.....lol!

never thought about and it doesn't bother me. You can always use the "email" from their profile which allows you to type in your own subject line and not that form on the right.

I don't know. I think they should change that. 90% of the time, it's the wrong title and misleading. Bob Stewart you may want to add this to "the list."
