Do whatever you think is approriate. If someone doesn't like it, they
can take whatever action they need to correct it on their end.
I appreciate the posts. I don't always read them, or much of them. But
I do read enough that I find them worthwhile.
I can't say the same about everyone.
A guy calling himself Daeron used to post a lot of interesting things.
But he sometimes posted with a madeup subject line (often as trollbait,
perhaps). That oftentimes headed off into a discussion about Daeron and
his posting habits instead of the meat of the post.
Another guy who changes his moniker around sometimes likes to post just

I can live with something that breaks off paragraphs in the middle. The
gist of the paragraph can be gathered without everything in it being
present. Just as long as the meaning isn't altered by the snipping, I'm
OK with that. But this guy like(d|s) to break them off in the middle of
sentences, often in places where it's impossible to know what's
intended without pullung up the browser to look (usually finding it
wasn't worth pulling up the browser to look).
In your case I can decided to read all of them, none of them or just
pick and choose. If that becomes a chore for someone (including me),
they can decide how to deal with that in their own situation.
If you think adding a header is best, do it. Otherwise I wouldn't worry
too much about someone being bugged by something that is clearly not a
problem to the majority of people.
