[MacDV] Please, please trim the excess baggage from your quoted postings.

[Mark M. Florida]

C'mon, man, settle down a bit...  We're all here to help each other, and
sometimes it's necessary to keep the original message there for context...
And, well, sometimes it's not, but is it really that big of a deal?

I used to get the "digest" version of postings on this list, but found it's
much easier to follow threads with the regular version.  It's true that you
get more separate messages, but they all add up to the same amount of space
on your hard drive anyway.

If you are getting the MacDV digest and this bothers you, maybe you should
switch to the "standard" (?) list mailings...

I'd rather archive everything anyway...  :-P  If you don't find this list
helpful, or if it's just too "annoying", then just unsubscribe already.
