The seventy-two hour limit is definitely too short to allow for proper reflection. I now thing that the staus quo is correct, However, sending an ewtiquette guide to new users, instead of just referring to one, is probably a good idea, especially if it startw with technical issues, such as choice of mailers, top-posting, and reply-to questions -- things that are not the usual motherhood issues (like "be polite") that cause peoples' eyes to glaze over in boredom. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
