Put something like [snip] in if you feel uncomfortable to To me this is something you should *want* to do anyway. If there's tons of unrelated cruft in your message, a lot of people will just bail out without bothering to read what you are trying to say. Unless you are just here for the typing practice, you should be interested in maximizing the impact of your messages. I know I always get upset with myself when I see extra quoted text I forgot to take out. -- T.E.D.
