So Jim’s been on the road for a week. He’s been *attempting* to follow the list on a smartphone. Reading the digests. It has been a challenge. The challenge has been scrolling past all the unnecessarily quoted text. Did we REALLY add 80 lines of new text to that post? Probably not.

Folks, Please quote only enough for context. (And ‘context’ really doesn’t mean all of what five people said before you came along and said, “Me too.”)

I (and no doubt others) thank you in advance.
