Bob pleeeeeeeze wake up and smell the e-mail!
I am the moderator of starmax-talk.
I fully agree with Mike. 13K is way too long. Messages split up into
multiple-message-pieces are especially annoying. Yer gonna have to learn how
two write short messages for e-lists.
I know just how fun and exciting it is to learn something new about
computing, but quoting really long passages, without significant editing, is
really bad form.

3 BASIC NETIQUETTE RULES: 1) Messages should be as brief as possible.
2) When replying to a message, begin by stating who said it and remove all
words not needed to understand the chain of thought--Do not copy the entire
previous message. 3) Messages like "I agree" or "Thank you" that have no
relevant content should be sent privately and not posted to the list.
