I'm saying that [SOLUTION] by itself does not imply [QUIZ]; all 
quiz-related posts (initial quiz details, questions about the quiz in 
particular or quizzes in general, solutions t quizzes, etc.) should have 
QUIZ in the subject.

Adding SOLUTION to that subject line (i.e. [QUIZ SOLUTION]) would then 
make it clearer for folks who do not want to inadvertently read a 
proposed quiz solution, while not assuming that all solutions posted to 
the list revolve around quizzes.

(In general, though, I'm not enamored of "rules"; it's more a matter of 
a general etiquette suggestion.  [SOLUTION] is pretty general, has been 
used in the past for various posts, and should not be conflated with any 
particular sub-topic. )

Thanks,


James Britt
