Diane (et al), that might be even better.  If we get used to the fact
that--whether we're questioning, commenting ("C:topic"), _or_
answering, we have to think about the nature of our posting and code it,
it might help us all be more cognizant of our writing's impact on many
other people's mailboxes and time, and help us focus our writing toward
greater "meaning efficiency".
   Of course, as a perennial diahrrea-of-the-fingers keyboarder who can't
seem to stop rambling on (like this), I'm probably one of the worse
offenders.
