Hear! Hear!  Even just having to put up with the long headers is a pain!
Don't recommend using "n", I already do.

It's inconsiderate for a few individuals who's extensive cross-post list 
begins with amiga to fill up the comp.sys.mac and other machines that many of
us read.  

Please take this thread to comp.misc or somewhere else!  How can you help?
If you're going to reply, edit the reply to to comp.sys.amiga where most of 
the posters have their first newsgroup.

Let's have a little net discipline here.
