Random Sampling of e-mail services.

[allen]

did you have a point to make Rich?  we are not competing with those folks,
we are trying to offer something different.  and none of the info in the 
header says anything about what e-mail program they are using.  And...please
try to edit your headers.  As far as I know, all folks who volunteer on
SCN are automatically put on the scn at scn.org mailing list.  so what is the
point of your CC line?  only serves to irritate others...and perhaps make 
them less likely to actually read your message.  I know of folks that
simply delete them without bothering to read them.  In the meantime...this
kind of thing...increases the load on the system...the mail system.  
get a clue Rich and everyone else, please?
Yes I could forward my e-mail to my other ISP...and use filtering to 
eliminate the problem.  Unfortunately, many of our users and volunteers 
do not have this option.  I strongly urge all of you on this list to please
edit your headers...I know I am not the only one getting really tired of
3-6 copies of every response to this and some other subject lines.  
Perhaps a reminder of e-mail ettiquette is in order?
Please direct comments to specific committees that are involved...and if 
more that one committee...to scn list...not every committee you think might
be interested!  Each list is for a specific purpose...please pay some 
attention to that!

 Thanks allen

again.  Rich, while we would certainly appreciate their suppot, 
support...they are not the people we are trying to help get online.
