[600MRG] Digest issues....trimming posts....

[Edward R Cole]

I'm subscribed to about 8-12 lists.  Some I want 
to receive close to real-time others reading a 
summary a couple times per day is 
sufficient.  Consider sorting 700+ e-mail per day 
and you get the idea.  I subscribe only two 
digest form and I've already told how I do 
replies (cut-n-paste).   Consider that easier 
than deleting 16 to 20 e-mail everytime I reply 
to the list.  But then the younger generations want instant gratification.

Remember when you belonged to a group, you typed 
the letter, made copies, inserted each into an 
envelope, put on a stamp, mailed it and waited a 
couple weeks for a reply.  Most hams of the day 
checked into nets and passed their traffic that 
way.  Now most hams do more e-mail, Hmm.
