Without going back into the figures...any trimming of posts, removing the 

footer and only responding to the relevant sections does help enormously. 

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but a 1Kb email turns into 

1Mb (roughly) when it's sent to 1,000 people. Multiply that by the number 

of emails (per day even) and the number of subscribers and you're talking a 

large volume.


More importantly, we're all busy people, so the less we have to go through 

the better!

Hopefully, by the time you receive this message you'll notice that the 

Flashforward ad from the footer of this message has disappeared. I have 

been trying to put together a filter so these ads don't get repeated, but 

due to the vagaries of all the email systems out there, it's harder than it 

might seem. The other option is to sort out the messages manually, but that 

would slow down the pace considerably and I don't think anyone would 

particularly welcome that.


On a general note, I think everyone would appreciate it, if you could take 

the time just to delete all the unecessary lines at the bottom of emails 

you send to the list. Ditto for signatures, as long as you're crediting the 

right people with their quotes, I think it's safe to say you don't need to 

include any over-long .sig details, other than web address and email.
