I think it would be helpful is there was some sort of guidling for composing and replying to messages. I typically do the following protocol for messages, suggestions welcome: - Use a meaningful subject line - Replies are posted at the _TOP_ of the message; saves scrolling when following a long thread and keeps everything is reverse chronological order. - Compose in question/answer format and avoid long philosophical discussion where possible or take the long winded disscussions off the list. - Use white space to make messages more legible. - Trim off anything that does not pertain to the current message. - Scott _________________________________ Scott Gerhardt, P.Geo.
