Re: Cutting and Pasting Your Replies

[Guest guest]

We've been through this before. I switched to digest for the weekend

because I was out of town and it is VERY difficult to navigate under the

best circumstances.

So, let's have a new rule. You are REQUIRED to delete the rest of the

digest if you choose to reply. Digests within digests are just ridiculous.

There are always people on this board who are more than willing to help

others learn how to do things, so if you need some help, just ask and

someone will chime in.

Thanks,

Okay, and I totally agree. But for those of you who use the digest,

could you please do the same thing. Just a thought.
