Someone is going to say this sooner or later, and I dont mind being the
grinch ;-)

Can people PLEASE trim their messages to include ONLY the relevant portion
of the previous message they are replying to? I dont have a lot of time to
read the list lately, and lately people have been sending messages with
one...two...three...four...five....and yes, even *SIX* previous messages
attached, often with only one line of their own comments.

Anyone who has ever searched the archives for something will know what a
major PIA this can cause (your search turned up 10 million hits! too bad
they are all the same paragraph repeated in countless messages!), not to
mention the wasted time and disk space. I'm sure I speak for others in
thanking you very much for your cooperation, and wishing you Happy Holidays.

:-)
