Subject: FLASH: Dear [ADMIN] Please Confirm: Please Trim Your Posts and Label Them Properly

Hi Folks,

[in a polite and helpful tone wishing nothing but to make this list
better for all]

I'd like to take an extra moment of your time (since many of you are
taking tons of mine) to remind you to *PLEASE* trim the unnecessary text
from your posts.

While I realize many of you have email clients set to automatically
include the text you are replying to, and that text doesn't always appear
in the composition window, you need to be aware that you may be replying
to post that already has quoted all three and sometimes ten times before.

Lately this has gotten ridiculous, and people need to get it under
control for the sake of those with slow connections, per-minute
bandwidth, archivists and digest subscribers.

Also, please try to do a better job marking off-topic posts with the
'[OT]' tag (sans quotes; note the square brackets) so that email filters
can deal with what other people may consider noise.

Finally, many of you still need to reduce your sig lines to a
considerate, respctful amount.

Sam has posted similar requests of you, and I'm happy to remind you now
and again, but, please, let's lead by example for any newbies who join.

Frederico
