If anything just giv a first paragraph.... I dont have time for this... ----- Joyce, Nor do I. This is not the first or the only case where SOME people indulge in excessive quoting. Please PLEASE can they show a little consideration for those who have to read or skip over the n.th repitition of a lengthy post. Whilst I am in complaining mode :=); another pet 'peeve' of mine is the frustration caused by people who attempt to paste in a MIME or UUencoded document. In the same digest as the above, there was a post that contained the following: "....------ =_NextPart_000_01BC0BA5.5E7EAA00 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+Ig4PAQaQCAAEAAAAAAAB...." This means absolutely nothing to Eudora (my mailreader) or to me. Whatever the writer was attempting to convey is lost on me and, I suspect, on others as well. Let's all concentrate on helping each other to fight this dreadful disease by expressing ourselves clearly and concisely.
