List ettiquette : Technical, not related to NYC/WTC

Guys N Gals, 

Could those of you not on the digest please take a moment to do a couple
of things:

- If you reply to a long post, especially if it is only a few lines, FER
GAWD'S SAKE PLEASE CLIP THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE! I don't mind quoting of
some key part of a message you are replying to so that your reply has a
context, but blindly typing a few lines and hitting reply insures that
the long original message appears multiple times in the digest. THIS
BITES! 

- DISABLE HTML! Messages sent to this list should be plain-text format.
The digester does EVIL things with HTML. You end up getting any HTML
format message twice (and a pile of HTML tags added in just to make
things very very very ugly). 

Things were good for a while, but I think some new listers and new mail
clients (or lost settings, or whatever) have resulted in
VeryBadThings(TM) in some recent digests. 

Your cooperation is appreciated. Oh, and BTW, Digests really are the
best way to read the list, especially if you want to accumulate list
traffic as an archive.
