Jim:  some of us are on multiple listserves, and are able to get the gist
of the reply by looking at the other messages.  It is a waste of *our* time
to hunt for the message that is being responded to, just as it is a waste
of *your* time to sort through it again.

Your point is well taken, but there are "different strokes for different
folks".  I suspect that your inconvenience is my convenience, and visa
versa.  Are you having bandwidth problems with your server/computer, or
just personal bandwidth problems?  Karl
