please

Thu Jan 11 10:12:24 CST 2007

This is what the P-list digest looks like because
people don't take the time to trim the posts they're
answering and because you don't know how not to send
HTML mail.

Please imagine how somebody who has to listen to
email, instead of read it, might feel about this.

I don't mean to single out "Gordon,Alex" and anybody
else responsible for this mess, because several of you
do this all the time.

It's quite inconsiderate of the p-listers for whom
this kind of clutter is a real problem.  

Please stop it.

Again, I call on davemarc and Toby to run some
statistics on this sort of thing and to lend their
considerable List Nanny talents to solving a real
problem for a change.  I note that they did not
respond to a previous request. I guess they have
different priorities when it comes to monitoring list
etiquette.
