Fellow posters
As I try to read thru the 74 messages on the last list trying to get some useful information that I might incorporate into my build, I am developing carpal tunnel in my scrolling finger trying to get thru all the repeats of the previous poster's comments. (this time it's alternate engines). If everyone would just post their comments with a brand new message, not a response to someone else's, the new message would not repeat the previous ones, saving considerable bandwidth and scroll time. You could use the same subject in the subject line, so readers would know at a glance that it follows a thread.
Just a suggestion.

Actually, one of the things that irks me is Rick Sked's posts
(Sorry Rick, nothing personal.  ) when he uses the other
posting interface and you can't ever tell what he's talking
about when he responds, because there's no context for the
answer. I'm not saying people should leave all of the
repeat posts in place, or even the full original post.
I'm just saying they may want to leave at least the relevant
parts from the original that they're replying to, so that there
is some context to the reply and people aren't left scratching
their heads. I routinely also trim off the matronics footers
and other garbage when I reply.
BTW....Mr. Sked, please stop and visit me at OSH. I've been
dying to meet you and many of the other long-time list
people from waaaay back.

I agree with Tim. I never trim the originals because I can't stand it when
others do, so I don't know what they are talking about. I think the
Matronics system automatically trims the footers, because I never trim them
and they don't come in twice on my replies, I don't think.

Anatomically speaking, the carpal tunnel is in the wrist! So unless you have an unusual way of using a keyboard, you're much more likely to develop it from bucking thousands of rivets.

Tim,
I have heard other problems with the posts, I am using EarthLink mail page online, is there something else I should do? I would hate to think my incredibly valuable and informative posts are being for naught!! 
And your #1 on my hit list to visit at OSH, maybe we can have a James McClow memory flashback with all the people who he was near and dear to.

RV10'ers,
From the List Usage Guidelines ( http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm ):
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
Sums it up! Trim that rascal!!

One should not scroll with the middle finger anyway.
