I love reading everyone's messages ( hey, I'd unsub if not ) but would
everyone please try and edit before they post, pwetty please ?  It's
getting a bit tiresome scrolling through a 12 to 24 KB message only to
find that half if not more is just there because the writer didn't hit
the delete button when replying to a post.

I know that if you're on web based mail or an internet cafe, online time
is precious, but just bear in mind that the bigger the post, the longer
it takes for those of us who download to do so and the longer it takes
to read. Not to mention if you have to switch to digest !!!!! And I
would think that if we're on a list for book lovers, it's quite possible
for us to remember the contents of previous posts without having to see
them regurgitated again and again.

Sorry, Mods, I hope I'm not treading on toes here !!!
