Keith, as you know, I'm on web-only delivery for the messages at this 
list, unless I email them to myself first. So because I dont have this 
stuff archived in my Eudora mail reader program, I just went through 
and cut-and-pasted into "Word" all the messages from the past week 
that you're asking me to respond to. I put it into Word so I could 
print it out. Trying this (printing) was a mistake: 

Not counting my separate posts, not counting James or Gustl's or mine 
or Terry's or Pan_ruti's or anyone else's posts, Kieth alone has 
posted to this list, 23,095 words (my word processor gives a word 
count on it) in the past few days on the topics of me, netiquette, 
whether i"m 'promoting' something, whether or not I answered old 
messages where we disagreed, responses to Terry and Mark McElvy, and 
and a number of other points (this word count including untrimmed 
threads that just Keith alone re-posted). 

This came out to 70 pages of unformatted email in Word, all from one 
person (I of course then didn't print it, I was expecting about 5 
pages). 

Anyway I bring this up because the reason I posted 'Gentlemen, set 
your filters' is that peopel regularly complain on lists that high 
volumes of email are difficult for them to deal with, and because I 
knew I'd be sending out long stuff, replying in-line to Keith's long 
posts, etc.

 James Slayden asked if this could be 'taken offlist'. I mistakenly 
thought that more people besides James had also said this onlist (I 
think they did, but not at [biofuel].

 My point about filters was meant for those people who didn't want to 
get flooded with long emails, and also for those who thought that this 
should be offlist, (of whom I mistakenly though there were more, 
requesting this publically). My opinion is that my filter message was 
taken to read as 'watch out Im going to post something nasty and you 
might not want to read it' or something like that. That was not what 
was meant at all.
