      Just as a reminder, the quoting function of your e-mail client was 
designed so that you may provide a small indication of context about the 
message to which you are replying.  Quoting 89 lines of previously 
viewed text and replying with one word is third worst mailing list 
etiquette failure that you can make.  On the badness scale, that falls 
in just below unsolicited, commercial, non-topical advertisements and 
quoting an entire digest for a one word reply.

      Folks, please...  trim your quoted material down so that it's just 
enough to provide context.

      References for recognized guidelines for e-mail etiquette can be
