Hi!

I have this strange habit of trimming anything except the part of the
message that I am responding too. But I honestly think that marking
each message specially is a little too much to ask.

It is much like having to plug out the TV set each time it is switched
off just because theoretically it would mean longer life for a guy.
How many of us does that?

I mean no offence to Dr E D F Williams (darn, I wish I knew his name)
but I couldn't even force myself to add OT when applicable...

As for the question which seems to be asked here.

I am subscribed to the list, not digest. My mail client allows to
combine messages by subject line. It also allows to move/delete these
groups as a whole. This really simplifies my life as a PDMLer.

Also, I noticed that it is extremely rare for a thread to return to
its original topic once it swayed away from it... This and above
feature of mail client is 99% of what I use to handle the traffic.

Again, no offence, just MHO.

Boris
