Hi all,
I sympathise with anyone using digest mode, having to cope with the excess 
of attatched material. Cathy has treated us to an excellent example of this, 
this morning.
I do hope that John continues to add the above to his list. The web page 
details are particularly important, and I was one who pleaded that these be 
added to his address originally. There were so many people unable to find 
their way to the archives for this list and the iris photos list.

Like many, many others on this list, I frequently use the subject tags to 
get rid of the excess messages, and to search the archives. Do please keep 
using them people.
I am a member of many other lists, and frequently pull myself up short for 
using rediculous and irrelevant subject tags, usually as a result of typing 
in haste. These other lists are way smaller, so it is easier to read through 
quickly. They also do not have the archive resource that we are so fortunate 
to have on this list. I personally feel it is well worthwhile making the 
extra effort.

As regards John's unfortunate post which was intended to be private, we all 
do that occassionally. It's just unfortunate that there is no emergency 
retract button on our browsers. If I received a post like that from John, I 
would most likely apologise to him. Don't people do that anymore? If we 
cause other people anguish and inconvenience, isn't that as much, if not 
more, our own faults rather than theirs?

I suggest everyone have a good read of Anners tutorial on the correct use of 
subject tags. If you missed that, you will find it in the archives.

Have a nice day - Jan
