Hi, y'all!

What got to me are the individuals too lazy to remove footors.  So I decided
to do something about it.  I added a filter to my e-mail reader so that if a
message arrives that contains a greater than character followed by " Send list
messages to:", it automatically goes into the trash folder.  So, messages from
list members who don't excise footers will no longer annoy me.

Heh, I think I was the one that changed it and helped to start this  
whole thing...  oh well.


Any by the way, if anyone was following the LC portion of this  
thread, the LC III now works.  It turned out to be system software  
problem, not a SCSI issue at all.  Go figure.

Oh, but there was a long, somewhat heated debate about it in the iMac  
list too - here is one of the links in the archive... you can dig up  
more of the topic if you like. 


I prefer bottom posting, but i also believe you should only quote the  
most recent message... not the whole thing.


Cutting the footers is preferred - not doing so generally makes you  
look like a newbie, at least in my opinion.


It's not THAT big of a deal, folks, it's just personal taste i guess.
