    3. Hello, all, I would like to bring the length of replied to emails that are not edited to everyone's attention. I am also guilty of this. But it has been brought to my attention that when we reply to emails we need to edit out large chunks of the information. For example, if I post an email, then you reply to it, then someone else replies to your email, then someone else replies to that person's email, the email becomes quite long when it is simply answered with clicking "Reply". This causes those who are not in "individual mode" but who are in "digest mode" to miss out on parts of the email when it passes a certain size and is so large. So please do try to copy and paste the parts of emails to which you are replying; or at least delete out the older parts of the long emails. I will make every effort to catch myself and keep myself from replying without editing....for as I stated before I am definitely guilty of just clicking reply also. I do realize that part of the original email needs to be included so all will know what part of a subject line is being replied. This by no means is intended to infer that I wish posting to slow down though. I have really enjoyed reading the posts and watching how everyone is so helpful with each other. You all take care now..... Phyllis J. K. Owens Would you please remind the list not to send everyone's complete post <snip> when they respond. I receive the mailing list in the digest mode. The past few days a single response fills up a complete digest. I enjoy the increased activity on the list and do not want to say anything which will slow it down. However, the long posts are filling the archives with repeated messages.
