Hi,

Just a small mention of a mailing list pet peeve: lengthy, irrelevant quotes. 
This list is usually pretty good about it, but here's one where an entire 
digest was requoted, including several messages completely unrelated to the 
topic: over 670 lines including headers.

Since I get the digest myself, I then "get" to scroll through pages content 
that I had already scrolled through when I read the quoted digest the first 
time.

Sure, occasionally everybody forgets (so do I) but there's no harm in a 
reminder.

Thanks,
hjh
