Phil, I think it is recommended. When a thread drags on, I will go through, remove all the footers and part of the signature, so that just the name shows. Some of the replies that have no relevance can also be deleted...the object is to have enough information in the thread so others can follow along.

I know the admin. has warned against "butchering the messages" but can I "clean" up the half-dozen replicas at bottom? I think One sig file with orig msg, and the reply is enough, as well as the Techassist paragraph. What say you? Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
