    3. Hi Janet, The records will come up on the IFHF website and I usually get an e-mail message that they are live on there when it happens. When you subscribe to their site, you can ask for e-mail alerts. Yes, you could change the subject of this one to snipping messages on your reply if you have more questions on that subject. It just makes it easier for people to find information in the archives of the list, or to track incoming messages. Quite often, in a discussion, one subject will lead to another and it is helpful to have that reflected in the subject line. Snipping means highlighting and deleting all parts of a previous message to which you are replying that are not needed for your reply. It shortens the reply and stops information/surnames from being repeated over and over in the archives. You will realize how helpful snipping is when you search in the archives and get the same message up over and over and over because no one snipped off the previous messages. As a quick example if I got a message that read: The sky is blue. Goats can't fly. Janet If I wanted to reply to the sky part, I would "snip" off the goat part like this on my reply: The sky is blue. Janet and change the subject to blue sky: Does that help?
