I don't know which is lazier,
Newell failing to delete all of the completely
irrelevant "other messages" from the digest
version of the way he receives PLUG-discuss messages,
or Havens again failing to delete that useless
[non-] "thread history" stuff, when replying to Newell.
;

You don't have to be a kernel hacker, or other "wiz", to figure
out how to use your e-mail client (/editing software)
to send just what you intended to send, without extra stuff.
(right?)
