All:

Recently, several have replied to digest postings, without deleting 
the irrelevant parts of the digest.  Others are then simply hitting 
reply, and the full digest (or, at least, large portions of it) are 
being sent, again, and again.

When you reply, to any post, please remove all text except a small 
portion of the post to which you are replying.

There are two reasons for this.  The first is common courtesy ... no 
one needs to read an entire day's posts, in order to find your two 
line request.

The second is actually the more important one.

This is a world-wide list, with 350+ members spread over 22+ 
countries.  Many are on dial-up and living in countries where they 
must pay for both their internet access and local phone lines by the 
minute.  In past, we've had members in Mongolia and Nepal, receiving 
their email via sat-phone (very expensive!). When you simply hit 
"reply", without editing out the dross, you force them to pay to 
download an entire day's worth of posts, again.  Neither committing 
or repeating this error is polite, nor kind.

So, please, edit your replies, before you click on "send".

Many thanks for your understanding and co-operation.

David.
Keeper of the list.
