Not entirely correct - I'm more concerned that our list of subscribers, 1000+ as of today,
are resent identical content over and over - each time a new set of automated headers and
footers inserted making it that much more unsightly to read. Particularly when the thread
accumulates a number of responsese which amount to 'me too' - in my experience this
approach does not encourage the level of list participation that we would like to see.

Peter is on the mark and it's the approach that has been encouraged on this list for the
past five years. I can't force people to adopt proper netiquette, but it is my responsibility
toward the list to encourage it. This is not the first time I've asked somebody to edit their
replies and, no doubt, it will not be the last, There are tools available to you here at Yahoo!
Groups from which you may alter your list subscirption from individual emails to digest or
web only if you would prefer not to deal with the list content on an idividual basis.

Thanks for your understanding.

Jon
