Digital BW, The Print

David, Moderator, Group et. al.

No offense intended but I have posted below what your last post looks like
in the digest. Literally dozens of pages of useless HTML, superfluous text
and unreadable code. What does one have to do to get people to trim their
posts? It's been brought up again and again. Why should a forum member have
to scroll through so much crap just to find the real content?

Please trim your posts. Is that so much to ask? See below and you will know
what I mean!
