$ matches the end of a line. In this case, since there isn't anything
preceding the '$', it will match every line that has an end. In other
words, it'll match every line.
I know, it seems that some subjects go on without an end, but every
subject line does actually have an end.
An alternate would be to use a killthreshold. If you change the score
file as follows, Souper will only print out the subject lines that you
want.
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic {
killthreshold 1
2 Subject: sp 2
2 Subject: sp 1
2 Subject: sp I
}
Talk with you later,
