Bryan, look at what you quoted (I left it below):

    1 line of relevant text

along with:


    5 lines of 'Original Message' header
    3 lines from previous quoting (unneccesary)
    1 line of "Bryan Rabeler wrote:"
    4 lines of netzero adds
    6 lines of signature
and 7 blank lines
----------------------------------------------------
*  26 unnecessary lines

This leaves 3.70% of relevant info.  That's a waste, all right (on a side
note, most people would spell that as 'alright' -- which technically doesn't
exist in English, it's slang). . .

Even worse is when people send HTML emails:

FOR THE LAST TIME, DO NOT SEND HTML FORMATTED EMAILS OR PROGRAMS TO THE
LIST - JUST PLAIN TEXT!  Majordomo cannot handle this properly for the
digest format.
