When replying to emails on the list, please remember to edit down the 
copied text to the minimum needed to retain context. One or two 
sentences from the original post are usually sufficient. This keeps the 
list and archive volume down and makes everything much more readable.

*** Don't forget to delete the list footer message too or you will have
multiple copies of it in your reply.

A large part of our readers get the list in daily digest mode. When 
large amounts of previous posts are copied over and over it makes the 
digest very large and virtually unreadable. Also, many of our readers 
outside the U.S. pay for email by the kB and are using slower modems. 
Brevity in your posts helps a lot there. :-)
