I need to put on my hat of list manager for a moment to offer a little
tip to keep things working smoothly. This is not a reprimand! - just a
friendly reminder to make things easier for everyone. 
 
Replying to the list when you are getting the digest version requires
some extra work to avoid confusing everyone with meaningless subject
lines and with very long chunks of quoted material.  
 
Please when replying to the digest version of the list (or when replyin
to such a reply): 
 
1.  do not leave the message subject as re: sustran-discuss Digest, etc.
Instead change the subject line to a meaningful one (for example, by
cutting and pasting the subject line of the actual message that you are
replying to) 
 
2.  do not include the whole digest in your reply. Delete all of it
except maybe just the part that you are really responding to. 
 
I hope these little admin reminders will not put anyone off from
participating. 
 
Many thanks to all the active participants for enriching the discussions
of the list. 
 
All the best
 
Paul
