Peter, et al - Regarding the repetitious coding crap in the digest:
I think we all appreciate deeply what you & others do for our list, for NANFA, and for aquatic habitat consciousness. I presume the "crap" comment was meant to express irritation-in-the problem, not a criticism of our dedicated volunteers. I too prefer the daily digest, and yes it is annoying to search out the new messages among all the old text and coding.
So here's a suggestion: Can you (or someone) give me & our other users that are not-too-Yahoo-savvy a few simple rules on HOW to reply without constipating our digest ? Maybe we could insert this "Message Response Guidelines" like a sticky note-in-the top of every daily digest. ??? (I hope i did my part by deleting everything EXCEPT the message i'm responding to)

That hell is all of the crap that some people's email programs insert
into email messages that are usually hidden, but in digest form it is all
forwarded as one message, and thus gets interpreted as text. Yes, it
would be nice if people didn't sent messages in html format, and that
they trimmed previous posts when they reply, but that will never happen.
I have been intending to install demime to strip all of this garbage
out for a long time, but haven't had time due to my current focus on
getting my phd completely finished up. Once that is done (shortly) then I will
make some effort to clean up the digest version.
Please don't take the work some of us do behind the scenes for granted,
NANFA has lost too many good _productive_ members to unwarrented
criticisms. I have no problem with someone asking about these things,
especially when done in a non-accusational manner. And yes, I might be
overly sensitive on some of these matters, but that's my prerogative.
