It's good manners and paramount to those on the list who have dial-up Internet access that we keep messages on target. By this I mean......delete all the trailer info from the message to which you reply and include ONLY a line or two that details the matter on which you are commenting or answering. Longer messages clog mail boxes and take time to download--an issue with dial-up users.
We've had a couple of complaints about the length of messages, especially those with numerous replies. Each time you hit the reply button, you include not only the original message and previous replies, but also the list info that is attached as a trailer. Some lengthy messages of late have contained as many as 5 sets of list info.
Please be considerate.
Wishing everyone a prosperous, healthy and peaceful new year.
