I like it when people leave the actual 'thread' so I can see what was said in previous posts but then to delete the numerous 'repeats' of the footer/signature line that duplicates itself with each post but even that gets too long with more than 3-4 comments. I'm removing just the 'signatures' here but leaving the posts. Kathy
