And, for what it's worth, Darren has asked us to do just that. From the archives: Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 16:06:51 -0600 From: Darren Evans-Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: ADMINISTRIVIA: Replies to Questions Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I would like to make a suggestion, for the benefit of the entire list, on a method of reading and replying to IBM-MAIN. 1) Read through ALL of your IBM-MAIN email first, discarding those posts you do NOT wish to reply to, and keeping those posts you may wish to respond to. 2) After reading through all of the IBM-MAIN email and seeing that someone has already answered a question that you were planning on replying to, go back and delete that post from your inbox since it no longer needs a reply. This way, we dont see the SAME answer to a question 100 times!
