I agree with you on that one. When reading on a blackberry, it will only
download the first section and frequently I never get to see the reply
because it fails to get the rest of the message. I have got into the
habit of just deleting without trying to get the rest if the message
size limit appears before the reply. I find it ironic that the majority
of 'non-snippers' usually access using a mobile connection!

And " ... It's like being in a different pub in a different town, every
night. "

Stick with it and take part, then it becomes like being in the same
friendly local every night, with all the associated banter etc. that you
would expect to find there.  A bit like amateur radio I suppose, less
fun if you just listen but much better if you actively take part. We all
started as newbies on this list once, it soon becomes a second home.

Ask those questions you have in the back of your mind about the prospect
of getting afloat and see the response it gets?
