Jack I think it is just a bit more than unwanted traffic on your computer.
Each message is archived for history which is stored on a disk at the
server. What I think Brian is saying that he just archives everything
without editing out the replies saying "I want this or that". And I don't
blame him either because that would almost make editing a full time job.
If that is the case, it is space that could be used for other messages that
have value to a discussion for someone to retrieve later. I personally like
seeing the for sale ads, but can understand why Brian would not under the
present circumstances. Please don't hesitate to post a discussion here. I
like reading any postings for a time filler until the propagation settles
down again. Other things that add space to storage disks is replying with
the header of the message still there. Also leaving the footer on a message
is not needed.

Please lighten up and put these things in perspective! All the
complaining creates more clutter than the original "offense". We all try
to comply with the rules, but it isn't a major deal to hit delete button
for unwanted traffic. You are going to discourage everyone from posting
anything, myself included. 73, Jack, W9GT
The responders should look at the e-mail address of the sender, and just
type it in the "To" box. Works on IE.
