Hi Ron and all,

I agree with you on hitting the reply button and sending it all. I tend 
to use old information only when I think it is relevant to the post I 
make and to keep people from having to search and read what I am 
replying to on a message. I have cut the parts of your message that are 
not relevant in this case.

Depending on your email software, you can hit reply, then hold your left 
hand mouse button down (or shift key and use the down key) and scroll 
down highlighting what you want to cut and leaving what you want to 
post. Then you can place your mouse cursor on the highlighted area and 
use the right hand button on the mouse to cut or delete unwanted parts. 
No doubt some will have hard time figuring out what I am saying here due 
to different software.

Re-posting old data is a big waste of bandwidth unless it is a quote 
from a part that helps with your post. Bernd does splendid job of using 
only what is necessary. This wasn't related to meteorites but can save 
lots of unnecessary old post data and a reasonable post to my thinking. 
Good luck.
