Happy New Year GMC'ers!

A few items from your friendly neighborhood list admin:

Subject Lines - This situation appears much better since my last "admin"
post, but a couple subscribers have reported "broken" threads, which
indicates a subtle change in the "Subject" header. Try to keep the
subject line identical unless you're "branching" the thread to a
different subject. Then it's permissible to change the header to more
properly reflect the new subject.

Quoting - Please be very selective when quoting in your response. It's
only necessary to quote a few pertinent lines. Digest subcribers have
been doing a better job of this too - Thanks!

Stay on Subject - This hasn't been a big problem, but a recent
"personal" post prompts me to remind everyone that this is a "technical"
list and we need to stay away from "personal" issues.

Please, please, please - If you ever receive a direct "admin" email from
me, do not be offended. I try to keep intervention to a minimum as it's
not my desire to micromanage this list. All "admin" posts are intended
to be constructive in an effort to keep the "signal to noise" ratio
high.

Thanks again,
Patrick
