This is a general suggestion to all users of the net to use discretion
in transmission and re-transmission and re-re-retransmission of the same
articles. It would seem that just the relevant lines could be quoted,
for maximum effect.

In one particularly egregious case, 2 entire follow up articles, including
the original were retransmitted. The resulting waste of communication and
computation resources is staggering. 

The net has been made available on a free and open basis, thanks to the
good offices of various site managers. It would behoove us to use its 
resources sparingly.
