[WED]MESSAGE FROM LIST OWNER

[Michael Tutton]

Hello everyone.

I would like to make a couple of requests, if I may.

When replying to an email please delete any text, from the old message, that
is not relevant.

I have had a few emails from people on the list complaining about the huge
size of an email that contains only one new line.

Also, could we try and keep any "non-information" emails to a minimum.

Keep in mind that some people on the list are in the digest mode, which
means that their file size will be very large with all the reply text.

Also keep in mind that some countries are still quite expensive and strict
with their internet time, and that a large email, with two replies in it can
cost them a lot of time/money to download.

Finally, I think that the recent exchanges are what this list is all
about...but we should not try and turn this into a "chat" room...let's share
information.

I don't want to bring anyone down with this email, but there are some very
knowledgeable people on this list, that we may lose because of the volume of
non-essential text.

Take care.

-Michael-
