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. John Bartow, President Database Advisors, Inc.

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!
