All hands-- Some of you are reluctant to control your ability to quote at length automatically or to post unsolicited attachments, but your actions hurt us all when we drive away folks such as this subscriber who are cruising or living aboard. >Just wanted to let you know that the reason I have unsubscribed to the >trawler-world-list is that the attached files (173 k .jpg that wouldn't >even open and another last week) are difficult to deal with while traveling >and the quoted material is far too long.

I have never removed anyone from TWList for useless quotes or unsolicited attachments, choosing instead to request co-operation via private email.

I just hate the idea of losing listees who are out there cruising simply because a few folks at home continue to ignore TWList guidelines. --Listmeister Georgs
