I think i am going against my own words here, and pehaps trying to "hold
back the tide" as well.  BUT, with the increased volume of messages
recently, those with slower modems, and those who have to pay by the
minute might be getting a bit miffed by the large number of long
messages that are quoted in their entirity, often several times.  Most
readers can recall the gist of the messages being referred to, merely by
**selected** quotes of relevant portions, when and if nessessary.  This
takes a bit more time to do, but it would really help cut down on the #
of lines posted, WITHOUT diminishing the quality of the discussions-
which has been QUITE excellent recently!
