When responding to messages, cut the bits that aren't relevant, or "snip" in Net-speak. For instance, each message carries the standard footer text, and if you respond to a message without cutting the footer, your response will have two footers. Waste of bandwidth. Your response to Martin had six footers. Your response to me had two. If I just left it there, this message would have three. There are 660-odd list members, about 500 receiving email; the footer is seven lines, you had six of them, that's 21,000 lines needlessly transmitted, plus a growing load of garbage in the message archives at the list website, slowing down archive searches and wasting online time. In the original message text, cut everything except what's relevant to your reply - see below. This is standard netiquette, much neglected but good behaviour nonetheless. Required behaviour. It's also a good idea to change the subject heading when you change the subject - eg, the subject heading of this message: "Snipping, PLEASE TAKE NOTE - was Re: Re: [biofuel] Still start-up". It saves time, especially for people using the web interface to read messages while online. >----- Original Message ----- >From: Keith Addison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> >Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 10:59 PM >Subject: Re: Re: [biofuel] Still start-up > > > > >Hi Martin, > > >Here is the phone number I promised you for the B.A.T.F. in Ohio.
