I know this will probably fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes):  I surely
would appreciate it if people did *NOT* include copies of what they are
replying to in their replies -- messages full of >>'s etc.  are hard to
read, several times longer than they need to be, and clog up the net.
Just because you have a mail system that with the touch of a finger will
copy the original message and surround it with funny marks is no excuse
for exercising that option.  And by the second or third time around its
only stupid.

time and space are valuable
