AMEN to what John said below. Especially the last sentence.
If you are a person who habitually sends the entire history at the end of your SW posts,
and there's no compelling reason for you to include all those lines, PLEASE consider
taking a few seconds to only include the relevant parts - for the benefit of your fellow
list-mates.
Cheers,

(PS I almost sent an apology to the list when my fingers flew too fast the other day and
I
sent a reply with the whole giant digest history appended. But then I
decided that would mean sending a non-essential email.)
I would also love to cut down on volume.
But not by reducing the number of posts.
By, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, reducing the SIZE of them.
Too many people just do a "Reply", type what they want, and then press
"Send".
There is one other crucial step. Before pressing "Send" check what it
is that you are sending and delete all the material that is not required
or not relevant.
Happy dancing,
John
