Trim your posts! Please?

I freely admit I have, in the past, been guilty of neglecting to trim my 
posts.  However, I don't recall a digest as bad as the one that just 
arrived (Volume 29, Issue 6).  Aside from the message headers, there are 
only THIRTEEN lines of new text, divided among FOUR posts, all 
discussing the SAME subject.  3 in the first post, 5 in the second, four 
in the third, and ONE (!)in the fourth.  Come on guys, we don't need all 
that garbage repeated endlessly!  It's not just the text, which we could 
have memorized by the end of the digest, but all the headers, the 
closing lines, and the "watch this space for ads" lines.  Time for a 
little self policing!
