This isn't just at you, Cruc, you happened to be the most covenient example
at the time...

Guys, it's a good idea if you cut out most of the text that you aren't
referring too... There's aboutfive of you guys out there doing it, and
several of the old timers tend to get a bit... flammatory. You may want to
try snipping a bit.

Keeps these old fogeys from getting cranky.:)

I know I got scorched a few times for it, so I thought I'd warn ya real
friendly like before someone got upset...:)

1) Thank you for putting me up as an example
2) I did do it sorry
3) People sometimes hit delete and have nfi what you are talking about if
you dont give part of the text (unless its about Woodchucks)
4) They needed all of that text for me to prove my point
5) Dont ya hate people that number their points...
6) Good morning

Hey I did that for a reason.... to piss people off.... and anyway stop
getting personal mr
He-who-cut-5-pages-off-his-signature-before-he-decided-to-nuke-it-for-this-list

These are counter-productive if you quote too much. If I have to hit Page
Down four or five times to get to the actual reply, and that several
messages in a row, I tend to press Next instead after a while.

> 5) Dont ya hate people that number their points...

Yep :)
