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)
