Cheryl and Group,

I agree that not all of us are interested in *every* HIT, but I *do* like
the option of seeing what others are thinking at all grade levels. I
appreciate that someone is willing to shorten my scanning time by
combining everything about one subject into one message. HOWEVER, if the
SUBJECT line is done correctly, all I have to do is make one keystroke, d
for delete, and go on to the next message.

Of course, I am not paying by the message or length of message and that
would present an entirely different perspective to the picture, I'm sure.
