Hi Kenny,

I see you receive the digest version of this list's posts. Many people
do. People on the digest have a responsibility to change the subject
line to the subject of the post to which they're responding. They also
have the responsibility to delete all matter from other posts.
Additionally, for clarity, they need to delete context material, even
from the responded to post, so as to make their meaning clear. Those
who top-post need to use specifics instead of pronouns and articles, so
that readers know the reference without detailed parsing of the
context. People who interleave post don't have the same need to avoid
pronouns and articles.

I understand that some people find it more convenient to receive their
posts in digest batches, but please everyone, don't inconvenience others
with meaningless titles and 440 lines of context, most of which has
nothing to do with what you're replying to.

Thanks,

SteveT
