I've been noticing that, but didn't bother to discipline my self.  Mea culpa. I'll
do better.

Hi guys, it's me again....

I know that I've mentioned this too many times in the past, but I don't know
how else to get the message across...

I have put the FlyRotary list on autopilot at the request of many of you.  The
only proviso that I tossed into the mix was that I would leave it unmoderated
as long as we self-police the quoteback situation.  Well, it's getting out of
hand again, and I'm going to start moving people back into moderate mode
unless you clean up your acts.  I don't know how else to say it, as I've tried
asking nicely and that hasn't seemed to work.  We are consuming a ridiculous
amount of storage with all this repetition and I really need to curtail the
problem before it gets totally out of hand.  To illustrate, here are some
statictics comparing the (moderated) Lancair Mail List to the (unmoderated)
FlyRotary list...

Total posts        (LML)- 20,682       (FlyRotary)- 3,319
Storage used       (LML)- 100 megs     (FlyRotary)- 43 megs

as you can see, the FlyRotary message count is about 16% of the LML, but it
uses 43% of the LML storage space.  We are a long way from hitting my
allocated 1 gb of storage, but I don't see any reason to squander the space.
 Additionally, I have started skipping over posts that include too many
quotes, as I don't have the time to figure out what's new and what's old.  I
don't imagine I'm alone in this practice, either.  If you want your stuff
read, please do us all a favor and focus the quotes.  Thanks.

'Nuff said.....
