Kevin,

In addition to keeping our posts radio-related, we could eliminate much 
unnecessary traffic on this list by replying to an individual instead of the 
entire list when appropriate.  For example: someone poses a question, I 
answer the question, and a third person responds with something like "great 
answer, Steve!  I couldn't agree more!"  While that response does wonders 
for my ego, it may be seen as unnecessary traffic by others on the list 
since it certainly doesn't provide any additional answers to the original 
question.  We've all done this at one time or another, so I'm not picking on 
anyone; I'm just offering what I hope is a constructive suggestion for a 
little self regulation.

Steve
