Drop Outs

Regarding drops outs (IMHO), I might suggest that one additional reason
is the lack of use of the "Delete" key when replying to a message. It
is, at least according to the ideology of the other mail lists I
subscribe to, poor form to reply to a post without deleting all except
the minimum to remind the reader what the thread is all about. Please
look at todays posts and you will see tag upon tag to messages without a
line of deletion. For those with slow servers, or slow modems, or those
not on flat monthly rates it starts to add up in expense and time to
retreive the whole text of the same message over and over. Even though
none of the above concerns effect me, I will admit I just don't want to
burn my daylight scrolling to find the new information. Please accept
this post as a constuctive observation rather than a "flame" of the
group. This group has tremendous participation and donation of self far
beyond any other mail list I have seen. Even when you are great, you
still want to be better, or bigger, or heavier....being better, and
sharing, is what this hobby is all about. 

Now about that beer someone was talking about (sorry, beer is NOT
"ickypoo") make mine a BUD....<g>
