Some of the material I find interesting but other stuff I delete. I even
forward some articles to a person who in turns forwards to other interested
groups and also to a collective to which I belong. Louis is right about the
formatting. My system has a "copy as quotation function on it". If I select all
the article and then use that function it seems to be correctly formatted. That
is more than I can say for my own missives. How do I change from the e e
cummings format. By the way to change the format on an e e cummings poem would
destroy it. No?
LBO-talk has a posting limit per day. Perhaps that is a better solution.
Cheers, Ken Hanly
