I am one that is land line dependent and have my computer tied up for 20-30 minutes down loading pictures. I belong to a biplane builders group that has a separate site just for pictures. We just inform the group they are available and we can pick and choose what we want to see and when. Might be a good idea here as there seems to be lots of pictures/charts/diagrams etc.

All,

    My Vote:
        •       New message at the top - avoids a ton of scrolling around to read the relevant information.
        •       Trim old messages to just the salient point answered.
        •       Change the subject to match the new thread.

The suggestion is to answer all threads at the END of the mail and not at the beginning like most e-mail programs will set you up to do. If it is a long thread, like the present EWP one, it gets quite old to scroll forth and back and stay sync with the order of answers given!:(
Actually, our favorite list provider (Marvin) has a pet peeve too.  He has asked on many occasions that we NOT continue to quote old messages.  He would like us to only quote a relevant piece of the message.  Since he archives this stuff for us, it would save a bunch of disc space.  Sometimes when I see multiple messages quoted within a single message, I just imagine Marvin beating his head against the keyboard :-)

I personally like colors (as you may have noticed), because it makes it easy to see the new text.

As for the subject abuse, that's been mentioned before.  I don't really recall anyone violating that today.  It's hard for me to imagine having to live with only dial-up these days.  If it were my only option, I'd spend the food budget on semi-high speed from DirecTV for $99/mo.   Just too dependent on internet.

Cheers,
Rusty (typing slowly for Bernie's dial-up <g>)
