Cynthia, You are absolutely right about this. It is something I harp on all the time to other lists to which I am subscribed in digest mode. And I am just as guilty as anyone at times. Good netiquette behooves us all. Another thing people fail to do is change the subject line when they change the subject. Hence, something that was originally titled, say, "Nicknames" turns into five different threads about five different topics, but it's still only findable under the original subject line. Which means no one is going to find it later under the subject they may be interested in. Good and timely topic, Cynthia. And it only takes a few moments to change things around, and delete all but the relevent parts of any particular message to which one is replying. Yes, that SEND KEY is just to easy to press.
