you are absolutely right<br/>
thank  y o u<br/>
<br/>
also personally i think bernhard was great & right too<br/>
& i just wanted to pay him that tribute<br/>
but i agree<br/>
now that you mention it<br/>
it was slobbery of me to do it  that  way<br/>
& we should all learn to use what tools we can<br/>
<br/>
also i am glad to be more aware of all the considerations you raise<br/>
<br/>
i do shrink tho from deleting or snipping original messages such as this one <br/>
or the others following<br/>
especially where fine points are involved<br/>
because they support the meaning & clarify the intention of the follow up<br/>
<br/>

&gt;While I also appreciate Bernhard&#39;s efforts in translating the treaty,<br/>
&gt;surely it would have been more appropriate to make the text available as<br/>
&gt;a file on the list website rather than distribute it directly to over<br/>
&gt;100 people, only a handful of whom are likely to make use of it. It is<br/>
&gt;even more annoying to then see the entire text of the treaty appended to<br/>
&gt;a reply to Bernhard&#39;s posting - especially when that reply makes no<br/>
&gt;direct reference to the text.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;The Yahoo! Groups service has a very user-friendly set of tools for<br/>
&gt;uploading and retrieving files and for searching archived<br/>
&gt;correspondence - and the photo album tool is terrific. With these tools<br/>
&gt;at our disposal there is really no excuse for distributing messages with<br/>
&gt;file attachments, and little reason to send lengthy messages or to<br/>
&gt;include anything other than the most relevant extracts of previous<br/>
&gt;correspondence in our replies.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;In the world of 50 gigabyte hard disks etc, these complaints may seem<br/>
&gt;anachronistic but we should remember that not everyone has unlimited<br/>
&gt;disk space and some of us have to pay for the time involved in<br/>
&gt;downloading long messages and file attachments. Moreover, even if we<br/>
&gt;have the technology, I&#39;m sure we all appreciate anything that reduces<br/>
&gt;the information overload that we face on a daily basis. Please think<br/>
&gt;before you post, and make use of the tools that are available to us.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Thanks,<br/>
&gt;<br/>
