Whoops. I'm guilty of propogating a lack of proper "follow-up to" headers.
Mea Culpa. I'll endeavour to be more ideally compartmentalized in the future.

If insufficient adherance to compartamentalization irritates you enough to
toss in a snide comment about it a month later, shouldn't you say somthing
about it at the time?
I agree, compartamentalization is good, but don't you think a "hey, this
doesn't really belong in .trains" comment at the time is more effective than
a snide remark a month later?
