Thank you for publicly saying something about responding to a post, Steve. I can't tell you how many times I get private emails about such things and then I have to put out a post about housekeeping (as I call it). It is part of list etiquette (in general). And yes, it is best to cut out part(s) of the message that does not pertain to your post. Just like the old fashioned days of writing a letter. We did not send back the original letter to the person who wrote us. We referenced back to what was stated in the previous letter. With the Internet, we've all become quite lazy and don't reference back to the previous email. We let the darn program copy it below...and copy the other one below...and the other one. I've seen some over 10 pages long! I know it's really frustrating for Digest and Web Board/Archive readers.
