Steve:  With all due respect, I would like to ask you to look at
what you yourself sent out.  You asked:  "Please remove all the
repeated and redundant junk before you press SEND.".  And yet
your very own post included "repeated junk"!  Those of us who
prefer to handle the deluge of posts from this mailing list
using digest mode have to wade through lots of junk like this.
(That's one reason I stopped subscribing to MIDRANGE-L!)  Digest
mode is easier than reading through dozens of individual e-mail
messages, but it's still an effort scrolling past all the html
junk that gets included.

So, I would add to your plea:  Please, please, please, don't
send e-mail with html formatting!

Cheers!  Hans
