Tom!
I commented on poor levels of quoting a few days ago. You appear to have
ignored my advise.

PLEASE monitor the levels of quoting - Snip unnecessary text!

For example:

At 07:55 1/11/01 +1300, you wrote:

9 Lines of text you added.
I lost count at the below quoted material - beyond 200 lines the ratio is
just pathetic.

Remove additional signatures. Remove additional quote headers. Keep bits
that help keep the thread alive - but dont leave it all there to inflate
our DSL bills! Its poor netiquette and it is inconsiderate.

Mark.
