hi steve -
thanks for protecting the list archive, and thanks for the
reassurance that's it's protected.
regarding my other point, asking that others quote only the portion
of a previous post that interests them (rather than just hitting
reply), i do appreciate that you are already offering your caution
"When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific"
i do understand that expanding this to a bunch of rules might be
annoying. yet, i still find the messages hard to parse. which part is
the new message? which part is an old message being quoted?
even replying to your post puzzled me. i usually put replies above
the message i quote; you replied to me below my message (actually you
quoted me in the body of your reply, but at the top of the body). do
i put my reply to you above or below your message?
i'm not fussy. i just can't figure out who wrote what when on many of
the threads.
best,
john
