Dear list, It was quite a boost for me to see my message flying around again and again, during the recent discussion. I guess if I'd blundered big time, I would have been embarrassed over and over. I feel compelled to point out that the copy feature is meant to make possible a quick review of what has been said, to avoid repetition in the composition stage. Whether a letter is too long, may well be a function of whether the family being discussed is one's own! Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. If you have already read a portion of what has been sent, you should quickly realize it, and you may scroll down quickly through it.
