I support the call to members to snip messages, leaving only portions

to aid continuity of the thread. However, I am pessimistic that this

will solve the problem of having to scroll thro' piles of old messages

as the same call had been made at numerous other groups, but there are

still people who click on the send button without bothering to snip.

It will be interesting to see if this call make any difference with

this group.
