crikey! please edit replies down and delete extra footers

Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft-2
When replying to emails on the list, please remember to edit down the copied
text to the minimum needed to retain context. One or two sentences from the
original post are usually sufficient. This keeps the list and archive volume
down and makes everything much more readable.

*** Don't forget to delete the list footer message too or you will have
multiple copies of it in your reply.

A large part of our readers get the list in daily digest mode. When large
amounts of previous posts are copied over and over it makes the digest very
large and virtually unreadable. Also, many of our readers outside the U.S. pay
for email by the kB and are using slower modems. Brevity in your posts helps a
lot there. :-)

73 from your friendly Elecraft list manager
