I'm sorry to use net bandwith to complain about wasted net bandwidth, but:

FOLKS, please cut down on that included text, willya?  I'd send mail, but
so many people are doing it that it seems to be a trend.  You should include
just enough of the text to get the idea across.  

Silly though it may be, I enjoy reading pointless flames about why "char"
should be pronounced this way or that, but over a modem-line, I do *NOT*
enjoy re-reading the complete bloody text of the original question 56 times!!

So please cool it, ok?

PS:  TO the person asking if the company really was spending lots of money
	on this:  It, and thousands of other companies are certainly spending
	lots of money on it *now*, as thousands of computers and thousands of
	disk drives and thousands of phone lines transmit / store hundreds
	of messages on the subject . . . .
