BUT -- EVERYONE has missed the fact that the original message consisted ONLY of a subject line which was "Phishing attack of AOL and Yahoo IM" then went to the body of the message to say something like "See the URL for the article and gave a URL. The message was ORIGINAL and COMPLETE. There was absolutely nothing to quote.

I'm a shocker, I tend to come in at the tail end of things, & wonder about the rest of the conversation. Sharyn, I can see your point about expensive servers & not letting messages get too huge. Emails don't take lots of space in this format. Lance will put us right, but I suggest we all "cut" the senders email addies, when replying or forwarding. I would also suggest we give our basic whereabouts, & the general internet plan we are on. I'll start. I'm in Australia on $10 p.m. unlimited, my work place buys a block time, & a friend is on a $1.00 ish an hour time. It works out well .... I surf heaps no problem ... work probably uses $3-4 dollars a month on block time, the friend on the per hr plan probably uses $2-3 a month. They both get HUGE stuff through .... pics, movies, etc, but the cost is not bad. I would guess that most on this list are Canadian, American, English, Scottish, Irish, New Zealanders, & the odd Ozzie, & would guess services to I.S.P's with competitive priciing. Maybe the rest of the world is catching up, & does need tons of money to run an i.s.p.
