Hello all of you wonderful Meteorite Collectors and those lucky enough to be 
in Tucson this year,

Just a quick request that many have been talking about lately. How about 
just a "Fresh email Post" without all the long trailing info of many old 
posts.

Since many of us old timers and new folks read our Email on our phones and 
are short on time, battery life and Increasingly Bad Vision and those of us 
who are getting arthritis and want to avoid Carpo-Tunnel, can I please 
request when everyone sends a post that they leave out all the lengthy 
portions of many, many OLD previous email posts.

It's very time consuming on us all and on our phone batteries and on our 
wrists and hands, back and shoulders and bodies in general all over to 
scroll through all the previous posts that many are including in their posts 
to the list. I'm seeing posts going back over 4 days or more that we don't 
need to read or scroll through regarding many things, especially the recent 
etching posts. Most of us understand etching, but when you have a post that 
includes the past 3-7 email posts no one is reading all the old posts since 
we've already read it and those that haven't seen them will catch up or can 
go into the archives to find them.

Please, just a friendly request for a "Fresh Post" and perhaps one short 
connected previous email post, not the entire thread. This will make 
everyone much happier and cut down on time and battery life and our bodies.

Thanks! ;-)
