Paolo,
Good point. Sorry for the frustration.

We are lowering the size limits of messages so that at some point people are
forced to snip unneeded content. Besides making it easier on people that
recieve the digest version it will also make archive searches more efficient
and cut done on the cost of storage that we pay for. Remember everything
sent is archived whether or not it has been repeated or not.

We have already started doing this on the other lists.

Hi,

I've posted this before, but it getting very frustrating...

Please please please take the extra three seconds to remove unneeded content
from your replies...

The electrons must be getting dizzy sending the same information back and
forth.

The digest of 28th September was particularly bad (you can see how far
behind I am!) and prompted this second request.

It was 30 pages long and contained a grand total of less than 2 pages of new
content!  One particular posting contained _three lines_ of new info and
_four and a half pages_ of baggage!!

Please please please just take that extra few seconds...  and spare the
electrons and the trees!

The list contains great stuff, but wading through the baggage makes it
tough!
