Wsfa list netiquette

Please put your reply to a message UNDER that message, as people do not
naturally read up.  Also quote ONLY that message or part of message to which
you are replying.  (Yes, I know that was a dangling participle.  Now go
away.)

ANYTHING IN CAPS is the equivalent of yelling.  Please use sparingly.

Book titles are set off in underline, as book titles are always underlined
in the real world.  _Stranger in a Strange land_

Stories are in quotes.  "The Tell-tale Heart"

Incomplete sentences, ideas, etc. end in ellipses so it just trails away...
