I hope everyone is off to a great start of a new school year. 

I'd like to take time to remind people to try to *TRIM* your reply messages
to just a bare minimum of text. Also, please *REPLY TO THE PERSON* if you
ask for personal information or want to be included in something.

For more info on this see:

By chance I opened a bounced digest message. Eek, egads, and forsooth!
Here's what I found:
        Messages        34 (great!)
        Pages           37 (ouch)
        Words           9,608 (several chapters of a novel?)

So each post sent out yesterday averaged about one page and 282 words. This
is fine if those 282 words are new, but a big challenge for digest people
and others when the bulk of the words are a repeat from a previous post.

So please be careful when you hit reply. Try to send your own words and not
a bulk repeat of a previous post. It only takes a few seconds to review and
trim before you hit send. 

Review and Trim, Review and Trim.
Makes the Digest Thin, Thin, Thin
And the Admin Grin, Grin, Grin

Thanks,

For example: Above this line I wrote 198 words. This is ~67% of what the
AVERAGE post was yesterday.
