ok kids.  for those of you on the list that make a habit of posting
w/o proper rest at naptime, some little things to consider:

    1) only quote the text you need.  if you're responding to two lines
       of a 500 line message, just include the two lines.  those of us
       beginning the long and happy road to senility have written down the url
       for the ilug archives and stapled it to our foreheads (keeps the
       rain away too) so we can get the additional context we require.
    2) sigs should be four lines or less.  it's an arbitrary rule,
       but there you go, life is full of them.
    3) publishing uptimes is frequently an indication of just how old
       your systems are.  this can be construed as a security risk.
       it would be wise to either not offer names with uptimes or only
       post uptimes of boxes not correctly connected to the net.
    4) ruptime is an exciting, yet terse command.

no one is perfect, but there are certain levels one could aim for.
