Please don't simply send a link to the list without some explanation of 
what it is.  That's a hallmark of malware email, and I personally would 
not click on  it, no matter where it appears to go.

It's time for me to repeat some list rules, in particular:

2) When replying to a post, delete everything except one or two key 
sentences from the previous post. Carrying all that useless baggage 
around from previous posts also gives people fits when searching the 
archives later, as they end up getting 10 hits for the same message. 
This goes double for the "trailer" stuff at the bottom.  Four or five 
copies of this stuff at the bottom of a post is a clear indicator that 
three or four people in that chain simply don't care to follow the rules.

3) Conversely, at least put SOMETHING in the post to remind us what 
you're replying to. A post like "yeah, that's how I did mine and it 
works great" doesn't mean a thing if you don't know what the guy's 
talking about, so please cut and paste some of what you're replying to 
above your comments.

6) Put your name and email address in your signature to make emailing 
others "offnet" easier. If we all had our addresses at the bottom of our 
posts, it would be far easier to "email direct". If it's blue just click 
on it, if it's not, cut it and paste it into the "To" box. If throwing 
your email address out on the internet makes you nervous (and it 
should), camoflage it a little by replacing the @ symbol with "at", or 
something similar, so bot crawlers won't know what to do with it.

The rest of this list is located at http://www.krnet.org/info.html . 
For those who have never read the rules (despite what the "welcome to 
KRnet List email" says, please read the rules and abide by them.  Jeff 
Scotts previous post is an example of how this is done correctly.  It's 
pretty simple, really, to make it easier on future users to search the 
archives, while making the list less cluttered.  All it takes is a few 
seconds of your effort to save several hundred others the trouble of 
sifting through an email looking for that useful nugget of information...
