Gentle Reminder Time:
1)Remember to reply to the Groop, and not just to the
person who posted! (Sorry Rick and others, I've been
doing that alot lately).
2) Remember not to send it to BOTH the person you're
replying to AND the Groop, because then they get it
twice!! (Ummm, sorry again).
3) Please take pity on those Groopies who subscribe to
the Groop using the digest method - there are actually
quite a bunch of them out there!
When replying to someone's post, only quote what is
really necessary to remind people what thought you are
continuing, because otherwise friends like Rick have
to re-read the original message maybe a dozen times
before getting to some one-line joke! This one-line
joke may be funny for the rest of us, but when you
have to scroll through 70 lines of copy to get to each
one-liner, it kind of takes the fun out of it.
For example, note how I cut out most of Rick's post:

Thanks!
