These messages reflect some of the frustration, which I think most of us feel.
A very simple remedy to the problem is to state the type of car in EVERY 
subject line.

On some postings you have to read/scan through the entire message to guess at
which car type is meant.

The subject lines

     TR2: engine questions
     TR8: engine questions
     SPIT: engine questions
     GENERAL: engine questions

are indeed very different, and will make browsing a lot easier.

TRiumphally yours,
