Admin pet peeve:

I just scanned today's posting and of the Re: messages, many of them contained the entire thread.

Please folks, trim the excess off. If your reply still has the vanagon list footer on it, you haven't. Most of us have been following the threads in which we're interested. We do not need every word that's ever been written on the subject in your reply for context. We already KNOW the context! All it does is fill up the archives with redundant information. Please remove all but that to which you are replying.

I occasionally forget as well, but at least I try. Some of you aren't trying.

If you need instruction on how to do so, please p-mail me.

Thank you.
