<P>"I believe this is a serious point. Bad netiquette devalues an email group.
<BR>If info is hidden within streams of repeated messages then it gets lost.
<BR>Fortunately yesterday was just an idle rally (well it is Wimbledon week)
<BR>between the 2 hemispheres, but if this list starts behaving like nabbers
<BR>then it would lose readers (and their moderator has the same attitude of
<BR>'tough' which is a shame). I hardly read nabbers now because it is too
much <BR>hard work. I am sure others feel the same."<BR><BR>I am fully in
agreement with Mike and Dickon over this issue, so can <BR>everyone please try
to do as requested, i.e. only quote relevant text in <BR>your
response.</P><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></DIV>

the four long (serious) contributions made by Rod Bickerton and
myself it was necessary to follow on the original text in extenso.
Certainly, bad netiquette was not intended.</FONT></DIV>
