Looks like it's time, yet again, to remind people that you should trim
your posts when replying.  Just about every message, lately, has not
edited out unnecessary, and often huge, quotes of the prior messages.

You don't need to quote the entire thread in each and every reply.  Just
the prior message that you're directly responding to.

It's a waste of storage space on the mail server, your bandwidth, my
bandwidth, and every other person who receives the mail.  And it makes
it a thorough pain to read through messages.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
