In my case I subscribe to the digest version of  10 or 12 lists.  I don't 
read them on my employers time, I do it after  work, at home. So when a 
particular group is just too inept, too dumb or too  inconsiderate to simply 
highlight 
a small part of the text before hitting the  "reply" or worse yet, the "reply 
all" key, all of us get pages and pages of  repeated text. The argument that I 
should simply hit the delete key is a pretty  P poor response. It's not about 
the delete key, it's about the time. Dumping the  list might be an option but 
just occasionally, there is a jewel of an idea that  would be a pity to miss. 
Lately, some of you have been resending the whole  volume over and over for 
up to five repeats. Count the little chevrons in the  right margin sometime to 
see how many times the same message has been resent. It  gets a little tedious 
wading through all that just to discover they are  discussing the effect of a 
fat gut on launch height or something equally  esoteric. All in all this is 
probably just another waste of time and space.  Those of us who are considerate 
enough not to do it know who we are and those  who insist on doing it 
probably don't have a clue and never will. I would bet  they are the same 
people who 
do not know what their turn signals are for or how  to take your turn at a 
four-way stop sign or even figure out what a "yield" sign  is for. Sigh!
