A simple request: (you do read simple requests don't you?)

1) If you are posting a follow up, make an effort to Edit the SUBJECT: line.
Does the subject correspond to your comments or are you taking a new
tangent?
This isn't a request (no please); it's good sense.  Just telling to avoid
making you look silly.  Separate the wheat from the chaff.  Which are you?

2) Have you thought about mail rather than a follow up?  A good
conversation is better than wading thru endless follow-ups.

3) Can you limit the distribution? (ba,ca,usa,na)  Date postings?

4) Having you thought about more conventional media: library, telephone
note those stupid phone or talk commands), writting a letter?
