Hi Anne - Sorry to miss your call the other day - I should know where
I'll be this winter later in the week.

The e-mail addresses I use offshore certainly aren't signed up for any
lists. Gunkholing in the Chesapeake and sailing the Bahamas and BVI I
do use a datacard and wifi that often are slow. So, yes I do care
about bandwidth. "Top-posting" and leaving a long string of
reverse-chronological 'history' chews up all kinds of time; further,
for readers who get lists in digest form it makes following the list
harder than it needs to be. Please don't send the same stuff out over
and over.

"Rich Text" is not the same as HTML. It is however as bad or worse. At
least HTML is (or should be) in accordance with a non-proprietary
standard. Rich Text is a Microsoft invention that includes all kinds
of MS tags for fonts and (IMHO) foo-foo stuff. In the end, both hugely
increase the amount of material transferred.

sail fast, dave
