Why no signature? Or maybe you meant no sig _attachment_?

Note that the Google Group is clever enough to remove its own waffle 
from the quoted message while adding it back at the bottom of the reply.

Inter-posting (like this) is even better, but harder, and (I think) will 
not be enforced.

Note that Bram always _adds_ the email address of the author of the mail 
to which he is replying to the To/CC headers, in addition to the 
mailing-list address, so I'm not convinced of the relevancy and 
applicability of this latest supposed norm.

Oh, and by the way, John, you forgot one:

DO NOT start a thread about a new subject by replying to an existing 
post. (The felony is done now, all I can do, I think, is to morph the 
subject.)

Best regards,
Tony.
