    3. Hi, Listers . . . I, as many of you probably are, am on a lot of Mailing Lists for areas in which I have continuing research. Because of that I can find myself reading literally hundreds of postings each night. I truly appreciate the intent of these forums and personally have benefited from information gleaned from them. But . . . could we make it a little easier for each other to read? It helps a lot if all SURNAMES in the posting are in caps so we can quickly scan for interest. A carefully-worded descriptive Subject Line is good, too. Another feature I've found of great assistance is a 1-2 line SURNAME Recap placed at the beginning and/or end of a posting. Typically, those at the beginning list the SURNAMES contained in the posting and those at the end contain the SURNAMES the author is working on. I know each of us is very busy and benefits from maximizing our time. I personally want to aid as many fellow researchers as I can by sharing my knowledge and work. These are just my thoughts on making it easier on us all . . . your Comments? Suggestions? Kathy Woodside-Freiburg [email protected]
