I don't know if this goes out annually, but it seems that it is necessary to 
make this request periodically:

Please Truncate the messages you are replying to!

It is especially a problem for those of us that get the digest.  Today's, Vol 
26, Issue 21 (Tue, 21 Dec 06:16:27 -0500) was 156K, 4588 lines for 60 messages. 
 Messages this big take a long time to open, and physically scrolling through 
4500 lines to read maybe 300 lines of new content is difficult. 

I would like to point out a sequence of three messages.   They were all part of 
the long-running Re: Battery Types thread, sent at 

Mon, 20 Dec 07:37:23 -0500 (by Chuck) 450 lines,
Mon, 20 Dec 13:48:05 +0100 (by Jez)   469 lines, and
Mon, 20 Dec 13:50:24 +0100 (by Jez)   482 lines

They had 3,2, and 5 lines of new content respectively.  The other 450-480 lines 
contained quote horrors like this:

>> >> I've
>> >>> not
>> >>>>> looked at the

>> >> but

Enough said.  I now return you to the normal conversation about things that 
occasionally have something to do with Olympus.
