any post! I can't believe many of you dont."
Common sense should suggest the same. You look foolish when you reply to a
thread that's already been beaten to death. Hey, I know, let's discuss THIS
for 40 or 50 more posts...
Not just common sense. RFC 1855 (http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html),
prepared by Responsible Use of the Network (RUN) Working Group of the
IETF, contains this admonishment with respect to processing email:
<RFC 1855 Text>
In general, it's a good idea to at least check all your mail subjects
before responding to a message. Sometimes a person who asks you for help
(or clarification) will send another message which effectively says
"Never Mind".
