I have learned a lot from this list.  But, there are some pet pieves in 
which I concur with some of what Alan said:

1.  People who reply with one-line responses, and make several replies in a 
row to different people.  It'd be much better to consolidate your replies 
into one message.

2.  Messages that hijack the subject line; the subject line can be edited 
too, so remember to change it if you are going in a different direction.

3.  I don't mind looking at the list of check-ins, but some of the other 
traffic should be exchanged directly like a QSL card.

I do like the reminders about the nets and if we have to cancel due to a 
contest.  Some day, maybe I'll get my antenna back up where I can get on and

check in; I tried demo-ing field day to a new ham and I could hardly make a 
contact on 40 meters.  I just have not gotten around to getting my wire back

up on either end after the ice storm, and I don't want to throw money at the

tower because it is hard to find decent climbers now.
