Bill, John, et al -
I subscribe at work with very nice bandwidth at no direct
cost to me and yet I fully support your position. Indeed a
quick perusal of the official posting policy for the list,
presented below, makes the point. I dislike even e-cards
attached to e-mails to the list.

Subject: Administrative message -- posting formats
Regarding postings, here is a re-statement of our
guidelines that were sent to you when you
subscribed:
1. No attachments (because many of our subscribers
use dial-up modems for which message size
determines the download time).
If an attachment is appropriate or necessary to
your message, then
a) offer to e-mail it separately upon request, or
b) make it available on an FTP site, or
c) post it to a web site and provide the URL in
your message.
2. Post in ASCII plain text. Do not use RTF, HTML,
or similar formats. Not all mail readers are
compatible with these formats, but all mail
readers are compatible with ASCII plain text.
In most cases (especially Outlook), you can set
your mailer to always use ASCII plain text for
messages sent to emc-pstc.
Also, please don't write messages without
carriage returns. Some mailer readers can't
handle long lines, so the line is truncated and
part of the line disappears. If you use CR
(ENTER) at the end of each line, then each
reader will see the same format as the one you
wrote.
3. Please don't re-post the entire message string
when replying to a message.
Instead, pick out the passages to which you want
to respond, enter your response, and delete the
other text.
This makes your point easier to understand, and
helps keep the message size down for our modem-
connected colleagues.
Don't forget to delete the emc-pstc footer!
:-)
(Each posted message gets the footer attached;
multiple footers provide no useful information,
and just make downloads longer.)
4. If appropriate, when responding to a message,
change the subject line to agree with the major
point or content of your contribution. You can
append was 'original subject' to your subject
if you want to reference the original subject.
This will help us when the subject matter strays
from the original.
5. If you want to attach a signature, please do
so in ASCII (for the same reason as posting in
ASCII), not the business card format that is
gaining popularity.

Richard Nute
