Been said [b][i]many[/i][/b] times, but it clearly needs repeating. [b]Please....[/b] hit the edit/cut key, or highlight the message you're commenting on and use the "del" key before contributing/responding. The "one-liners" are great, but please take a minute to either eliminate the original message or highlight just the lines you need as reference. We're reading the same stuff over and over. And, not enough "listers" change the subject line even though the topic is six times removed from the original, etc. Some really great inputs are becoming useless because the material will never be found again in the index, and, with 464 members and conventional modems the download time is getting out of hand. Instant communication may work in a chat room or a conference call, but a quick look at recent postings will show that way too many 5-10K postings could have been 1-2K. Please take the extra minute to clean up your message before hitting the "send" button before we lose members. The [i]humor [/i]certainly is lost when you have to scroll through a page of old stuff just to be sure you didn't miss something. Austin the Grump
