Well, I wuznt gonna bring this up, but Kuk's comments about the returned
mail got me on a roll <G>.
I too get tired of the 15 returned messages for each post I make. But what
bends me just as much is the people that feel they have to quote 147 lines
of a previous message then add..... "Yeah, me too."
Is quoting every message in it's entirety really necessary? How 'bout just
cutting & pasting the high points?
