I'll also point out using an service such as Gmane
(http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general) when replying if you
receive digest mode.  It takes a few minutes to find hit their web site and find
the message but sometimes having time to think before applying fingers to
keyboard can be a feature.
