Sure, Rick, sure. It's easy enough to *really* start a brand-new thread if you want to issue a general reminder to participants. "Be more careful" in Peter's comment referred specifically to *leaving in material necessary for context*, which you went on to recommend, after saying, amazingly, that "be more careful" meant snipping more. If you're going to piggyback on an old thread, it's a good idea to know first what it is you're piggybacking *on*.
