RITE ON!  

I frequently get messages that are forwarded as many as six 
times and am forced to delete all the address headers and 
non-pertinent comments up front, and, occaisionally I have to 
delete a whole lot of garbage from someone who doesn't know 
how, or doesn't care, to convert a word processor document 
to a text file before sending it as e-mail.  Of course when it 
comes from friends and relatives it is hard to criticize without 
hurting feelings.  However, almost all of the people on this list 
are pretty knowledgeable about the use of their software, so it 
should not be a problem.  
Occasionally, it might be hard to cut out the extras, but usually 
you only need a few lines of text or a few words to refer to for 
your comments.  
I'm probably as guilty as most, because I just sent out a post 
and left all of Paul Bartlett's text tagged on.  Forty flogs with a 
wet noodle.. or maybe no more M & M's tonight.  

Remember to have fun at whatever you are doing. 

All work and no play makes you a dull boy, not to mention the 
ulcers, heart trouble, carpal tunnel, bad posture, and eye 
squint from all that staring at the monitor and banging the old 
key board after the wife has gone to bed, after giving you last 
call for the umpteenth call.  You should be ashamed enough to 
all go out and get a box of chocolates and a five pound double
German chocolate cake for the old girl, just   to show her your 
heart is in the right place. (Right next to your stomach)
