David,
I enjoy the multiple responses on the list. Often there is more than one
way to skin a cat and that is reflected in the number of answers. Even
if not, it is good to know that people are listening and prepared to
respond. I would not like to see any changes that discourgage people
from
the various views
most interesting and would rather not se it changed.

the 53rd time. (30 replies on the last one).
I'll agree with you here.
2) stops multiple answers clogging bandwidth of everybody on the list.
eg. being told how to MAT var = '' 9 times.

Full content. A lot of times watching how someone else is
thinking is more instructive than what they are thinking.

Hi Bruce,
Your point about the immediate receivers is not really
Perhaps one solution (and I should take my own advice) is to read
through
the existing responses and only provide a new or unique answer. Thus,
the
post will get one occurrence of '4' instead of 20.
there are still times I reply to the only item in my inbox and then due
to

I strongly disagree with this approach.
1) I think you would lose some valuable and useful responses as not all
summaries will be posted
2) I like to see the alternative approaches as my particular problem may
