Lengthy Posts and Email Delivery Options: Please remember to take time to "clip" lengthy posts, messages, news articles, etc., in replying to posts submitted to the Elist. In replying, you are creating a thread, which may become quite lengthy and may take up too much allotted space for other members with their email programs, creating a full mailbox, over the limit provided by their email provider. Threads tend to grow very rapidly. This is an increase problem for those members who receive messages in "Daily Digest" form.

In taking vacations, holidays, time off from the Elist, please consider changing your membership status, to "No Email", rather than unsubscribing from the list entirely.
