[sbe-eas] EDITING and Digests.

[sbe-eas at fetrow.org]

Can everyone look at this message, please?

I don't know how many of us try to limit mail by using the digest  
mode, but I do.

Yet, it really doesn't make any difference at all.  WHY?  Because no  
one edits the posts.  Everyone just hits "REPLY ALL" and we end up  
getting another DIgest over one small comment.

For GOD's SAKE, can't we edit the post?

So far today, I have gotten SEVEN digests.

If you want people to participate, you need to prevent them from  
getting huge e-mails, over and over.  I believe if I was on the list,  
rather than the Digest, I might have gotten 9 or 10 messages, rather  
than seven digests.

Come on, use some disibline or you are going to lose people who cannot  
try to sort this crap out, like me.

OK, you don't need ME, but you likely need a lot more people LIKE ME,  
who don't want to be overwhelmed by this needless unedited crap.

I DO want to be informed, and I DO want to contribute, but I am not  
going to wade through the same crap, reposted again and again, just  
because people don't want to edit before they post.
