Hello folks.

This is a semi-regular reminder of an often forgotten bit of list  
etiquette.

There have been a number of new topics on the list that have been  
started by simply replying to old threads. This makes individual  
threads very hard to follow when browsing in some email clients - and  
the list archives. Please review the following when posting a new  
topic to NewtonTalk.

------------------------
 From the NewtonTalk FAQ:
------------------------

When creating a new topic, please start with a fresh message in your  
email software by using the "Compose", "New Message", or similar  
command. Do not simply "Reply" to an existing list message and replace  
the subject and body. When you use "Reply", your email software  
ensures that your new message is included in the existing thread of  
the original topic. This causes confusion for people who rely on  
"threading" or "messsage grouping" in their email software and in the  
list archives.

Thanks for listening. Carry on.

g.
