I agree. I don't thing Georgs is trying to limit the length of posts, just the mindless and automatic quoting of an entire lengthy original post. Take a few seconds to quote ONLY the part you are referring to. The idea is to remind people of the topic, not make them reread the entire novel. Even though I have a fast connection, long quotes make messages needlessly cumbersome to manage. OTOH, bring on the three page posts, CaptnWil. We're ready! Mike mikef@ciaccess.com Robert H.
