So far I have heard from 54 Optacon users with a total of 121 Optacons. I hope to hear from more of you but I would ask a small favor. Please do not include the original message to which you are replying. Some of you send a three-line message with three pages of miscellaneous data. Most of us don't usually look at the actual replies we generate but I think it's time we should start. Many email programs have the inclusion of the original message as the default behavior but all programs have a way of changing this either permanently or for a given message. To give you an idea of how much this matters, the current messages which I downloaded to my word processor after editing total about 18 thousand bytes. The same messages before editing which included everybody's original everything total over 76 thousand bytes. In cases where messages are being archived or where persons might want to store them for their informational content, it can make a big difference. Thanks to all who replied so far. I hope to hear from many more list members.
