Google groupers: read this before you post here

From:"Summarize what you're following up.When you click "Reply" under "show options" to follow up an existingarticle, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with thecursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to juststart typing your message, please STOP and do two things first. Lookat the quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant. Then, goto the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there. Doing thismakes it much easier for your readers to get through your post.They'll have a reminder of the relevant text before your comment,but won't have to re-read the entire article. And if your replyappears on a site before the original article does, they'll get thegist of what you're talking about."-- John FieldsProfessional Circuit Designer
