Allan,

Do not feel bad. It is the failure to clean up the replies that often causes
me to just give up following a thread. I do not understand why it was a bad
thing for you to point it out or to ask for others to clear out the underbrush
in their replies. I find it is even worse with the longer posts. Because the
Digest is the only way I can participate, it is not unreasonable to ask people
to clean up all the extra header and tail info from their replies.

And if that means I am in a bad mood to, well so be it.

After years of uploading tracks with a hundred or so rounds at 92 lbs a piece
daily, I'm not easily unconvinced by computers. I guess it's a matter of
personal perspective. Generally speaking I cut my posts like this one, only
this last weekend there was so little traffic I let it slide.

I agree top posting is has been the bane of this list - especially in
digest when its very obvious

> I cut my posts like this one, only this last weekend there was so

but its just too easy in gmail to top post

as i'm using the subject filters [FT] etc heavily - nice to see
generally eneryone is using them as i'm only interested in [OFFICIAL or [FT]
stuff

still 670MB of posts since I subbed last year!
