Disabling the automatic population of "re:" in comment subjects.

Title:
Disabling the automatic population of "re:" in comment subjects.

Area:
comments

Summary:
Dreamwidth is a site heavily utilized by the online RP community. The "re:" that populates automatically in subject headers can be really annoying, and we would love the chance to disable them!

Description:
Is there any sort of option for us to turn off the automatic "re:" that appears in subject headers? If not -- is it possible at all to create that option for us?

Take a look at the RP-based post here: http://adstringendum.dreamwidth.org/414634.html

Every single one of the almost 300 comment replies has had to manually remove the "re:" that automatically populates in the subject header, and it's a pain in the butt to have to do it when you're replying via phone. It gets really, really tedious, especially when you're churning out dozens of tags in a sitting.. and the header itself is necessary, because the mode of communication is something that's important to keep track of. Having a way to disable that would be just plain AWESOME!

Thank you so much.
