Thanks for the reply - this list is kind of parochial - everyone knows everyone,
sort of thing, except for when new people turn up. But even the oldest of old
hands (Starkey and Harrison, take a bow) sign with their surnames.

Anyway, I don't think you'll get far with the campaign to stop people quoting
entire replies when they say 'me too' or 'thanks'. My bug-bear is e-mails in
html. And the latest phenomenon which is annoying me is cross-posting. Just
about everyone seems to be cross-posting to IBDI, IB-Architect, Mers generally,
and the new IB-Build. And my mail filter sends them all to which ever is listed
first.

Still, at least the list servers/news-groups aren't down. That would really piss
me off.
