Theos-Talk Archives (September 1999 Message tt00166)

Dear Dallas,

         The following is your reply to someone regarding Whatever, and
amazingly enouph it only consisted of 20-30 lines (1K of reading).   I
really appreciate your stores of knowledge, but I must let you know
that when I look at my in-box and see a posting from you over 5K, I
just delete it, as it takes so much time to read and usually I don't
have a clue what your writing.

          Please edit.
