Midrange.com mailing list protocol for digest mode

Chuck -

I'm equally guilty:

I trimmed my response, but forgot to change the subject line in my earlier reply. Apologies to all, and I'm done with this thread!

How much clearer, and how many more times, does the text from the
digest email have to describe /what to do/ "When replying", before the
subscriber finally gets the point? From the digest-specific portion of
the quoted message [emphasis my own], the following two requests:

1> "please *edit your Subject line* so it is more specific than "Re:
Contents of MIDRANGE-L digest...""

2> "PLEASE *remove all text unrelated to your reply* and change the
subject line so it is meaningful."

So why the continued disregard for those very clearly composed
requests\instructions within the digest? Plus having ignored similar
commentary in some prior replies in other threads; at least one reply,
in which directions for alternatives to digest mode were offered?
Anyone expecting some respect from [the other users of] the list, would
do well to avoid disrespecting the list; i.e. the conventions\rules of
the list, the effects on the archives of the list, and the other users
of the list.

I am very close to adding "Crystal Reports" to my kill-file.
