Let me make a suggestion for those posting with suggestions for an
OS/2 wishlist.  Many people have suggested additional useful ideas;
however, most of these have annotated the *ENTIRE* original list with
such rather unnecessary comments as "I agree", or "Yes".  This just
makes reading these posts a pain-in-the-ass, especially where one has
to read all the way to the end to find substantative comments.

I'm not saying not to agree or disagree with the original suggestions
-- but if you strongly agree or disagree with a particular
"improvement" write a statement about why this is particularly
important, or elaborate on the original suggestion.  A simple "yes" or
"no" just wastes our time reading the group.  Also, if you have strong
feelings about multiple "improvements", it would be easier to seperate
them into seperate posts, which might then spawn seperate threads
discussing the various "improvements".

Pretty much the same rule goes for the Usenet in general... but this
thread has seen a particular excess of unnecessary quoting.

Yours, Lulu...
