responding to Bobbi on logistics

[Guest guest]

Even if we want to reply or add to the " thread " of a discussion in a message

to the whole listserv, we can do it by hitting " reply " but then editing out

(deleting) all the superfluous or non-relevant things. For instance, I'm

excerpting Bobbi's message, below, from a long message I'd rec'd from the

listserv (11 messages).

It would sure help if we all do something like this, or what Bobbi

suggests. The messages (at least for those of us who receive them in a

daily digest form) are getting terribly long. And if we ever want to look

up an older message, we can do so (they're archived) at the groups

website.
