(TV) OT - can you please trim your posts??

[caryn <clr@drizzle.com>]

here's an example of the kind of thing that DRIVES ME LOOPY.  it's 
laziness, it's sloppy, and it's just plain bad manners on a mailing 
list.  Micah had nothing to add but "radiohead rock", but in order to say 
that s/he added  SEVENTY TWO extra lines to the digest, because s/he 
couldn't take a few seconds and chop out the posts s/he wasn't responding to.

I don't mean to single out one particular lister, so please don't take it 
personally.
I have to be on the digest because i get far too much email (and this is a 
personal account, not a work account - i STILL get too much email) but 
posts like this fill up the digest and make it worthless to me.

can i ask please for some forethought and consideration from my fellow 
listers?  thank you.

oh, and for some ON TOPIC info, looks like television is confirmed for the 
ucla version of ATP.
