Yup. But you didn't include "like a clueless newbie", or "careless" (which might be included under "lazy"). Some e-mail software (not restricted to Microsoft, I'm told) makes it all too easy to click on the wrong button and do that, and enthusiasm & haste can allow it to go unnoticed. I speak from experience, having done something of the sort, several times, when I first got OnLine. (Probably there are better solutions than my clunky and extremely time-consuming work-around of copy&paste the pertinent passage to a WP page, add my comment, save as Text Only, then C&P this back to an e-mail message form, but at least it's safe against including the whole Digest. I haven't found, so far, any Technological guards against writing something inherently stupid. *sigh*) Don Fitch. who guesses that Tony is young, new to the particular technology he's using, & wants to learn how to do things right -- and who hopes he realizes that these comments are intended to be helpful. -- _______________________________________________ basfa mailing list [email protected] http://vesta.wallis.com/mailman/listinfo/basfa
