Hi Folks,

The first guideline for posting to BEE-L reads:

1.  Do not include excessive quotes of previous submissions.
    If  you  must quote previous postings, include only what
    is necessary to make your point.   Submissions that  in-
    clude  the  entirety  of previous posts will be rejected
    without comment or notice.

I don't know how to put this into more clear prose.  More than a
half dozen submissions to BEE-L have been rejected since last Saturday
because they were submitted with the entirity of a previous submission.  When
submitting to BEE-L, please turn off the "Include original message in reply"
option in your mailer or only include the portion of the original post that
is necessary to make your point.  Excessive quotes clutter up BEE-L archives
and WILL NOT be approved.

Sincerely,
Aaron Morris
