You have not asked for the information, Esko did. It is not important to
you therefore I should not include it to everyone, others may feel it is too
much to read (I am being sarcastic here not sincere). Can you see my point
in this? First it is the footer, then it is reply messages that is "deemed"
irrelevent. Soon it will be the whole reply message. What else shall we
take away from others or tell them how things should be done? Religion?
Life? Government? How we wash our faces? Everything we want changed to the
way we want it only allows our lives to be molded closer to a one world
life. Yes, even little things like this. Start with the small things to get
to the big things.

Laziness on the part of the reader, yes. Not necessarily that of the
sender. I may read the email that came in today and forego yesturday's
email because of my time element so I will not know what the URL is for. It
is always better to include the original message in its entirety to
alleviate all misunderstandings. Besides, the reader can choose for him/her
self what to read and what not to read. Give them the Freedom to decide
what is important for them. Why should any of us deside for them what is
important to them?
> I'll cut the rest as it's not relevant...
Maybe to you it is not but it maybe for someone else just joining this email
list it is. What about them? They have not seen any email before this
one? Have you gotten my point yet or is your brain still set on what you
want and not acceptance of others? True Freedom is allowing others to be
who they are, even in email.

Well it sure has been exciting in the last couple days.... I guess I am
responscible for that... :*)
