+As with most mailing lists/discussion groups, the message re: bottom/top 
+posting and citing only what is being answered and not all the message, 
+should be repeated on a regular basis to users. There is a constant flux 
+of people appearing on the list and some are new to this process. Some 
+users are not first-language English speakers as well and may have a 
+problem interpreting these directions.
