Re: the discussion about excessive quoting.. I unarchived my old ILUG
mail file and found over 11000 emails going back to October 1998 (I
guess I must have been using Windows before then at work..)

Anyway, there was a long thread on the topic below - look at the date in
the header!

I think this is the third time this dicussion has been had since around
april. At this rate the amount of bandwidth wasted on dicussing the
problem will be more than is wasted by quoting. I propose that we say no
more on the subject and just knee-cap anyone who quotes too much,
