Note: This was previously sent, but apparently rejected as the "bad word 
monster" did not like
such an exact quotation of the "unacceptable language" 

So it was "edited" to avoid the censor.  Hope this doesn't end up being 
a duplication

I suppose many have noticed their postings have been "annotated" by a 
signature text looking something like this:

This is a new feature, apparently, of our List. It is to remind us to 
edit our replies so they do not become endless chains of repeated 
information.  This is a GREAT idea, and only fitting and proper 
housekeeping.

There is an apparently new "corollary rule" that is rejecting postings 
that do NOT do this!!  How do they know?  The above addition should have 
been edited out of any reply to the list.  If it is there, the clean-up 
was obviously not done.  Neat and simple.  Unfortunately, the rule was 
not stated.  Thanks to Theo, who got bitten by a bounce for this, I now 
know.

It is only fair to pass this along, so the rest of the list can abide by 
the new rules, and not get their postings bounced.

Now, I wonder what the next unannounced improvement might be?  { 9 - )
