Some guy (or guys) keep complaining about replys on the reflector that include 
the text of the
prior message - ostensibly because it costs more to download.

I want to disagree with this and encourage posters to include most - or even 
all - of the text to
which they are responding.  This makes it easy to make sense out of the reply 
without having to
dig thru past messages, which I probably didn't save anyway. If everyone 
includes all the prior
text it is actually very handy because, at the end of the thread, it is only 
necessary to save the
last message and in order to save the whole conversation. 

There will always be laggards who are behind because they have slow connections 
or whatever.  But
I would like to see the list put to its highest and best use.  I would also 
like to see it take
some advantage of recent technology.  I know that not everyone has a 1.5 mb 
connection so we can't
use the list as though everyone had that speed.  However, a significant number 
of us DO have high
speed connections and don't want to see the list downgraded on the assumption 
that it must be
geared to the lowest common denominator of internet service.

I spend a bit more to get better service so that the details of the way in 
which people use the
list is not a problem for me.  And I'd rather not hear a lot bellyaching from 
those who don't want
to spend a little more to get a better level of service.  I would like to see 
people free to use
the list as they see fit without hearing from skinflints and techno-laggards.

So, you guys with your big old posts - just keep 'em comin' please!
