Hello............. I've been at this for a loooooooong time. I'm getting too old, really, to continue. I've cancelled all lists except Hessen, where we lived for so many years and often wish we had remained there. Folks, please........... How difficult is it to DELETE everything before you respond? We get the same messages over and over and over and over and over again. It is so simple to highlight and delete everything in a digest, then send your reponse. The only thing you need to reference is the message that you are responding to. EVERYTHING ELSE can be deleted in one second ! ! ! Try it, you'll like it ! ! ! Please........... these old eyes would like to hang on a little longer. Be kind enough to be brief. The result will be a very orderly presentation for all of us ! ! ! Thank you ! ! ! :-) Don Watson
