Tweeters, there is still concern about mail volume. Some people check
their mail irregularly because of their situation, and the flood of mail
that comes through can be intimidating. I'd just like to throw out one
suggestion to keep our signal:noise ratio as high as possible.

PLEASE think about your reply to a posting. If you think it would edify
the entire group, or at least some parts thereof, reply to tweeters. If it
is really meant for the person who sent the original post and contains no
information from which others would benefit, please send it to the
originator. I've been looking at the postings myself since this was called
to my attention, and there are at least a few per day that really should
have been directed back to one person. I know it's so easy just to hit the
"reply" key or button.....

Thanks.
