OK.  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)
