Yes. And other people need to stop jumping on people for doing as you ask.

Ted, I like you, but you're guilty of starting this thread. ;-)

Yes, I am.
If it offends you, I'm sorry.
But, I find it hard to read one-line e-mails, with 30 line disclaimers.

I think your complaint is really against posters that do not cut away
unneeded/unnecessary junk/stuff in their postings. And so the flotsam
and jetsam continues to collect at the bottom.

And to that end, I agree. People need to cut the junk off a posting,
only quoting what is germane to their comments. And should you be in
DIGEST mode with this list, you would INSTANTLY understand the problem.

Steve Thompson
