Two pleas, please.
When you out an ebay auction, please try to get the link copied correctly. Pretty please? With sugar on top? It's frustrating to have the link come up as an invalid item. A small thing I know, but...
With regard to citing the whole digest: I agree with everyone else who's weighed in on the subject, but as a lister who gets the digest, I can tell you that it is quite possible to *accidentially* send the whole thing back in a reply to the list. I've done it twice myself, I think...I hit reply, type my response, hit send, and them realize I just sent the whole digest instead of the relevant passage.
So have mercy on those of us who do it by accident. It's not intentional, believe me.
