I've noticed you seem to make a habit of filling every possible
character available in subject lines. Perhaps you are unaware that using
such long subjects makes reading your messages more difficult for
others, because a lot of news / email clients truncate long subjects for
display, forcing readers to scroll or widen windows to read the entire
thing. Note that this typically happens *before* they have had a chance
to decide whether they actually *want* to read your message.  

The subject field is meant to be a short synopsis of the message
contents - the purpose of which is to give the reader a good idea of
what the message is about, so that they can more accurately decide
whether further reading is desireable for them. It's best to use just a
handful of words, typed properly, that accurately indicate the message
content – and nothing more.

Supplying concise, accurate subjects is simply good etiquette. You
should reconsider your position on this, IMO.
