Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 To the group; Can I ask a favor without getting by hiney singed? For the benefit of those on the list (like me) who receive the digest mode, please, please, please take the time to edit your replies to remove the garbage and irrelevant stuff from the message you reply to. Scroll down and you will see how really difficult it is to read the digest because of all the constantly repeated stuff and all the junk Yahoo adds to the botom of the messages.
