Whoever owns the server that hosts these lists may also be paying by the byte for their internet usage. Every byte that you don't trim gets multiplied by several hundred when it hits the list server, and gets redistributed to everyone on the list. It's a free service, maybe we should be gentle with it, so that it doesn't stop being free or stop existing all together. Also, one thing that separates the Macintosh Experience from the Torment that is using Windows is simplicity and attention to detail. Taking the little extra time to make sure that your list messages are neat and well organized and simple and good is a way of showing the world that the Mac Force is with you. -John -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
