When replying to a message (for example, Roger's recent listings of
favorite band pieces, where people suggest an addition and repeat the
entire list), please *DO NOT QUOTE THE ENTIRE MESSAGE*, unless essential to
what you're trying to say. If using a reply feature that automatically
quotes the entire message, please use "cut" to eliminate unnecessary parts.

Following this practice will greatly reduce the time it takes to get
through our messages and speed transfer. It will also help ensure that
people will read your comments, which won't be buried 'midst a stream of
"<<" lines.
