[LOGic] Email editing is NOT an optional feature, it comes freewith your mailer...

[Dave Reed]

Hello Mel-

Why?  I had to think about that for a few seconds and I guess I'd have to 
admit the only reason is because it bugs me.  I plead guilty.  You certainly 
have not been the worst offender of this, but I was trying to catch up on my 
reading and became distracted by all the 'extras' in the messages.  The over 
use of message redundancy seems to lower my patience with regard to some 
folk's writing skills.  I sometimes have a problem figuring out what some 
are even asking because the question is asked, or written, so poorly.  Often 
times a callsign search will show the person writing is an extra class, yet 
he does not have the skill to form a simple sentence.  How does that happen? 
Aren't we all supposed to be in the 'communications business', even if only 
as a hobby?  :-)

Anyway, you took my criticism so much better than I expected--and that 
leaves me with some hope.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

73, Dave
WA5OK
