yeah, what he said...
COD, that is.
but quit picking on Ilene - EVERYbody needs to trim their messages....
the digest would be a lot shorter, might even make it through the
filters, that way...
on a couple of the messages from yesterday, there were no fewer than 5,
countem, FIVE "to terminate puerile prattlings" at the end ;)
talk about puerile prattling...
sure, leave the prattling, but please, at least cut the excess
accumulated footers before you hit send...
and for us plain vanilla text folks on 14.4 dialups out in the far
reaches of nowhereville (read: west of NJ state line - you want to talk
about equal opportunity? folks down here don't got it), it would be nice
if pinheads didn't post in html format, unless they really really needed
to use some fancy font to make a pure signal point or something... your
messages come through looking like this:

I think you'll agree, there's a parTICularly high amount of noise in the
signal there...
a final note, Bonnie Jean isn't going to be able to quit this asylum
even if she wants to - the "archives/manage your subscription" page
doesn't work anymore... she's doomed, DOOMED I say, to listen to
puerile prattling ...
oh yeah, hi everybody!
cheers from the cordwood shack,
deb
