If the administrators really wanted to save money, they should tell people not to include entire messages which they are rebutting to: >>>>>But Clapton is the best guitarrist ... ... >>> obviously B.B. king is ... >> bla bla bla bla > bla bla bla bla bla bla This is the real outrage when I happen to be reading at 1200 baud. I read a lot of groups and tend to read them in bunches, so that by the time I reach the end of a newsgroup I almost have the first message memorized. Paraphrase or include 1 or 2 sentences to refresh our memory. -- Randy Rzasa ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!yes2

Whether you're for or against them, I don't understand why everyone is measuring these graphics signatures in lines. Characters is surely what matters, whether we're talking about storage space or reader's transmission and reading time. -- -- Mitch Marks @ UChicago ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!mmar
