This is a meta flame about people who copy the entire basenote into their responses on the net. The program "notes" displays the basenote before any responses can be read. I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN I HAVE TO WADE THROUGH THE BASENOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR EACH RESPONSE! Please don't. (If news does not display the basenote before responses then at least I have brought this problem to peoples' attention) Dave Barrett (hplabs!hp-dcd!barrett)
