Usenet posts can have a Subject (not "title"), which is a
header field. (I also use "header line".) To reference the
Subject in a sentence use the noun phrase "the Subject" or
"the subject". If this is not clear in a certain case, add
" of this thread" or " of this post". For example,

|But I would like to come back again to the topic that was
|given in the Subject of this thread, i.e., to what extend
|parity bits can be accessed from C.

If you mean the parity bits that the hardware uses to check for errors
in accessing words of physical memory, you can't, unless the hardware
has some special access mode to read them.

If you mean parity bits as part of a message packet that the software
protocal is supossed to handle, they will just be in the location of the
message that they are defined to be.

Every post has a Message-ID header which uniquely identifies
the post and can be a key for searching the archives.

Stefan's post message id is:
> Message-ID: <Subjects-20211220181102@ram.dialup.fu-berlin.de>
