im using gmail... not a pop3 client... and as far as cutting the
trailing text off.. it does so from my view... clicking on 'show
quoted text' shows it 'hide quoted text' hides it... and no... i wont
cut the bottom off... if you dont like it... ignore it... simple as
that... im not the one complaining about the footer... you ppl are...
the telnet bbs's are are also a dying breed... my point was that this
-mailing list- isnt a BBS or usenet.... to which jeff was was
comparing it...

But as the FAQ says, most top posters fail to clip extraneous text,
which is rude and inconsiderate.
then the list shouldnt attach spam (who pays attention to ads anyway)
and comple subscribe/unsubscribe info... should only attach a single
link to a webpage with the info...
btw, the days of the dial-in bbs are over (thank god) ... and this
isnt a bbs or usenet...
if the extra text bothers you that bad then unsubscribe...
...just my $0.02
Cut the bloody footers. Simple as that. Set the prefs in your client to
do this if your to freaken lazy.
Nobody really cares where you post, just cut the crap off.
There is no spam attached, the ad links pay for the list.... and why do
you leave them?
Spam is unwanted mail not links, if you dont wont them unsub.
You can telnet for example into some bbs's they are not dead dipshit.
Your opinion is vasty over priced.

Ok.
I do apologize for my lack of tact earlier.
This is how LEM would like you to reply. The onus is on the poster to
edit the previous post "above" thus removing the footer and "hopefully"
unnecessary clutter. I guess this should work with everything that can
access email, even gmail, oh look my account has been a yahoo account
for years.
Please consider the list covers everyone, some folk use ontopic macs as
their internet machines. These folk like the traffic but not the
repeated content. They may also have limited net access or slow
connections, it is a mac68k list.
Your suggestion Jeff should unsub if offended by the extra text rubs me
the wrong way.
The footers are spam doesn't work for me.
If you use webmail for list access, learn how to use it.
Reply from the bottom and see how you go.
cheers
