Well, don't campfires come with stakes? Or was
that steaks? It's friday and my catholic
background is very confused . . .

Yah, but be careful how you word things or say things around the
campfire. If someone thinks you believe in God, or have a faith
different from theirs you'll get roasted! It's a melting pot that
just might include you IN it.
Spiritually, amicably and half-jokingly,

I've read this thread with interest, consternation, and amusement all
bundled up together. Back when this mailing list was "CaveTex," I spent a

flamers and headaches from the list's various hosting services.
Here's what I think, for what it's worth. The "me-toos" and one-liners are
indeed a nice campfire, sociable kind of response. You guys exist in a rare
community. I've seen the old-timers take care of each other in ways that
just don't happen in conventional communities and families, and I feel
blessed-albeit in a very non-religious, non-denominational way. You rely on
each other for amusement, and you work together and learn together. I work
closely with another Caver-offspring in a 40-hour/week bureaucratic
environment. We marvel regularly at what a great thing it was to be raised
by our crazy parents and their friends. In most cases, you know you can
count on each other to care about important things in the same ways-family,
friends, the land, the caves, the knowledgeyour own lives.
Use the Delete key as you see fit and keep your impatience to yourselves. If
you really want to be business-minded, be cautious with your subject-lines.
Use important first words: Trip Report, Work Weekend, Action Required,
whatever. But don't disparage each other for brevity or lack of brilliance.
Gil Edigar can write an essay that would make any of us weep. Ted Samsel can
make me laugh so hard I fear I will pee myself from a single line. But every
non-stellar rejoinder or mundane reply meant something to the person on the
other end who hit "send." Respect that and appreciate it.

I have my secretary print all my emails to paper, so I'd prefer 1 page
text minimum (Times New Roman, 10 pt font).
Also, if you could remove the history chain at the bottom this would save
a lot of paper.
Thanks in advance for your compliance on this matter,
Simon

Hi!
I use Mozilla's Thunderbird both in the office and my laptop. I know, it's
a throwback, now that everything is online, but you can set it up to pretty
much do whatever you want: leave messages on server, delete messages from
server, delete only the ones that you delete, have messages delivered
directly to specific folders, group messages
by thread, etc. It has a pretty
decent junk mail filter, and setting it up is easy.
Even in slow connections, usually I don't even notice when messages are
downloaded (unless it's the first time of the day and there are several big
>> files to download, and for really bad
connections you can put a limit on the
size of files to download). I always have the preview panel on, and it
literally often takes less than one second to read a message (especially
short replies), delete them and move on to the next one.
OK, 162 words. Clear to go!
