Glenn,
If you're so worried about bandwidth and Zandr's bill paying ability,
why the hell did you include the 50 other emails on the subject in your
post?

Since we're venting I've got a complaint, which I'll repeat again.

It's annoying when you guys simply "Reply" to an email without trimming
all of the other previous posts. For us guys who get the Miatapower
list in digest mode, it's a pain in the friggin ass to have to scroll by
the same quoted responses 20 times on a long thread.

"Who is this Sawyer guy?

And why is he responding if I'm on his junk list? :)

Guess you'll have to add all the others that responded to my post to
your junk mail list too, so you won't have to read or respond to my
posts embedded in their replies.

Come to think of it, if I *wasn't* on you junk mail list, I'd be
disappointed; I appreciate the consideration!

FYI, none of you are on my spam/junk list, never had one, never will...
too big a risk of losing a good post/info.

Besides, this little thing about F/S posts is too much fun... just look
at all the great traffic it generated in just a few hours, none of it
commercial, BTW. ;^)

Just let's all remember that Zandr pays the bills, not us...

Hello, Frank:

Sorry about that! I forgot you're a digest dude...

At any rate, someone just coming into the thread ( or fray, in this case
:) ) would
probably find the previous messages useful in ascertaining the cause and
effect of the messages in
the thread, and I certainly appreciate those posters that include previous
messages along with
their replies for this reason. Sometimes the List gets really busy and this,
compounded with my happy
delete key finger this causes me to miss some really good stuff.

Besides, it's not just me that ought to be concerned about Zandr's bill
paying ability, we all ought to. This
is the type of thing that deserves attention and helps keep everything on
track. Besides, it's not the bandwidth
that we ought to be concerned with, since this List is text, but rather the
use of the bandwidth; there's just
something inherently crooked with using a free information forum for any
income-generating purpose. I feel
strongly about this, if you haven't gathered that... :)

I apologize again for annoying you with this, but I think that when you
compare this rare type of message vs. the several that I
rail against, you will probably discover before too long that your posting
energy would be put to far
more efficient use elsewhere with your particular complaint. I also suspect
you will find yourself at about the same level
of popularity and success with it as well, but that's OK... after all, we
are all free to post whatever we want that's germane to the List.
I do appreciate your honesty and thought, though, for whatever that's worth.

Please don't ever change, and good to hear from you, long time, no hear. ;^)

In Miataness,
