I mean no offense, but: small, tiny bit of advice: don't quote an entire
message, only to reply with a single,short line. It tends to annoy many
folks,a nd ticks a few of them off entirely (me, it only slightly irks, as I
look throughout the quoted post for specific responses, only to find a
half-line fo text at the bottom ...).
Some folks in Europe pay by the minute for their internet/phone time, so,
longer posts being quoted in their entirety for short, brief replies is
something they, understandably IMO, dislike: they have to pay money for
download time, and ten or twenty items with big-quotes-and-small-replies can
run their phone bills up, especially if it's every day.
Ergo ... a friendly pointer: snip, snip, snip. Only quote the bits you wish
to reply TO ... like, say, ONLY the "Players Wanted !!!" section. =o)
