Hear hear!

I'd like to add a comment to this, as well. If you're going to reply to 
one sentence at the bottom of an email, be nice enough to trim the 
remainder of the mail so people don't have to scroll several "pages" 
just to read "me too!" or whatever. I've seen a few instances where 
people subscribe to the digest list and add a comment at the bottom of 
an entire day's worth of messages. That's truly annoying, and not very 
considerate of others.

It may take a little more time, but it really does make browsing the 
list more pleasant.

Take care,

Zonker
