MJB is a brick; we all appreciate his efforts and time. I'm 4 years on the
list; I've donated twice because I fully recognise that my car is better for
all I've learned through you, Listerati, and Randall especially, than
otherwise.

... but some of my replies fail to go through. Its not only about message
size, it may be my IP, I don't know. Some short messages fail too (not
always a bad result may case, LOL)

Nevertheless, we could all be better at 'snipping': let's commit to snipping
(not sniping, btw).

*If replying to a long message that we have all just read, cut the message
to the first sentence, or so, to confirm context and then delete the rest
and insert <SNIP>. We'd all appreciate it, I think. Mark especially!*

I get the digest and its 65% redundant DNA that we've all just read, as
messages beget replies that beget replies and its all repeated over and
over.

There is a better way: Let's <SNIP> people.

(Mark: Brick = a reliable, dependable, popular associate in UK slang, at
least where I grew up in Liverpool.)

Cheers, all
