Subject: RE: [MV] FILM THREAT WEEKLY : 8-24-98 : Slate II, Take 35
Here's a novel thought, guys. When quoting a 25kb message, why not edit
down the stuff that we don't need. That way, I won't have to download the
same message four times, taking up over 100kb of space:-)
As for the FTW subscription, it has been coming out on this list since at
least Saturday, when I got one. Don't know who did it. I always wanted to
read it, and had thought of subbing MYSELF, but do not relish the idea of
getting it on the list with no hope of unsubbing... ever. Hopefully
someone will be able to figure out how to unsub.
Regards,
