Yes, it's been said before, and I agree.  Folks, PLEASE take the time to
snip out unneccessary material when replying.  Signature blocks, list
mesages, and long stretches of text not needed for context really
shouldn't be sent to the list over and over.  I wouldn't want to have the
list server do it because it would require far more intelligencce and
judgment than a program could realistically handle, but I sure do wish
people posting wold make the very minimal extra effort.  I try to.
