Can I ask, as a matter of courtesy, that if you're responding to an email
message you *please* cut and paste so as to quote *no more* of the original
message than you need in order to give context? I just received the
equivalent of a 20-page email message, less than one page of which was new
material, from this list. That means that I'd already received the other 19
pages at least once. Digest subscribers end up getting a long digest with
probably two or three sets of that 19 pages inside. Users with slow
connections have to wait for it to download; users with overall mailbox
size limits might have other, more important messages bounced because their
mailboxes are full of stuff that really had no business being repeated
three times.
As Permaculturists, I think we have a responsibility to respect *all* the
resources we use, electronic/online as well as those which manifest a bit
more physically.
Thanks in advance,
Loren
