I do not normally rebuke Va-Roots subscribers via the list, but I am
going to do so this time.

Do not use the reply key without deleting the unessential text to which
you are replying. It takes about ten seconds to post your message as a
new one or to delete all but essential passages you want to comment on.
Yesterday, some of you replied to replies and included all the previous
postings. The whole day's digest printed out in my office at more than
40 pages.

I've had to say this before, and I don't want to have to say it again:
Don't do that any more. At all. Be considerate of everybody else.
