Hi Bob,

Many people include the "do not archive" tidbit to keep their messages

showing up online.  I don't want to set a precedent that says anytime

uses that phrase I'm going to have to stop whatever I'm doing and go clean

the archive... that's just not going to happen.  (This was covered just a
short time ago, remember?)  On this current deal the messages will be
scattered across an easily identifiable period of time, and all I need to

is check the subjects and message sizes and flag the offenders for

I'll get most of the batch in one fell swoop, then I don't have to think

it anymore.  I don't really mind too much when these things come up, as
there's such a wealth of knowledgable people here, the suggestions often

beyond the current issue and we all get to learn something new.  All I

for sure is you can't run one of these lists expecting every post to

some precise level of perfection or expect the subjects to be topical 100%

the time.  I've been running online forums since the early 80's and if I

nickel for every time someone stepped outside the lines I'd have me a

pile of nickels.  Thanks for the suggestion, though, your consideration is
appreciated.

  Marv,
  Some times chatter is good, but it does take up space and has nothing to

  with the subject material.  Would it be of any help to you if those of

  that just want to make an off handed remark, preface the subject line

  DO NOT ARCHIVE.  That might make it easer to remove the non pertinent

  Just an idea FWIW
