Hi gang, I have a couple of requests. I usually keep my trap shut about these things unless I get complaints, preferring to let things flow freely. These suggestions will help all list followers be more efficient in our work.

1) when replying to messages, please only quote a small, pertinent amount of the other's post. Some of these messages are huge and long with several generations of earlier posts left in them. Also, since we cannot yet be advertisement-free, try to leave out the old ads & list footers from what you are quoting.

2) Please try to make it evident that quoted material is just that. Some Wrenches' email programs do not do a good job of delineating the difference between quoted text and the new text. This may be a matter of setting up your email program to handle the quoting appropriately. 

A highly regarded method is to set up your email program to use the ">" symbol at the beginning of each quoted line, so each generation of quoting has an additional ">".

I can help folks with Eudora, but I do not know the intricacies of other programs. 

But this is not intended to stifle conversation, so please do not stop posting if you cannot follow the above requests for whatever reason. The flow of info is more important than the form.

If you have any questions, please contact me off list.
  
Michael Welch
