In my own post on the subject I was trying not to give anyone a
bitchslapping[1] but just to point out that replying to an existing
message whilst deleting the subject and body isn't the same as

[1] far less to call it that, which I'd fully expect to earn me a, er,
BS-ing from feminists and/or animal rights activists (not to mention
female animal rights activists)
