I have explained at length why this is a very inefficient and (for subscribed users) annoying practice at least two times, and how things could be automated. The first 2 years ago (1), the second last july (2). The second time everything stopped when I asked you, more or less "please let me know off list how your machine is set up so I can help you to test the solution I have proposed". Since I received no answer to that, I am now just sending to the trash all the threads born by this practice. > 8) Adhere to the usual Netiquette As an addition to this, please everybody: bottom quote, top quote, whatever, but remember to trim as much as possible when you reply on public lists. Do not repost 100 lines of text just to add "I agree".
