Kath: "I have a lot of emails to get through and find it flustraighting to read the subject title which said [ Re: Uploading Photos to Quilt]. I thought I might be able to offer help with this subject but this is what I got on opening the post.

"I think there are 7 or 8 posts here. It's difficult to tell. Does anyone know why this is happening?"

**First of all, this is an UNMODERATED forum. What does that mean? It means that no one has the responsibility of enforcing THE GUIDELINES FOR MESSAGES.

**THE GUIDELINES FOR MESSAGES...Number 5 says: "When sending a reply to the list, DO NOT INCLUDE THE ENTIRE PREVIOUS MESSAGE. Extract any relevant portions, if necessary."

Kath: "It is a lot to read through to find the letter at the bottom is the subject and you have already read it several times before. I believe I am not the only person to complain about this. Is there anyway that we can fix this problem please?"

**Yes, there is a way to fix this problem...and that is for everyone to read the GUIDELINES FOR MESSAGES...especially number 5!!!!!!!

[] GUIDELINES FOR MESSAGES:

1.) Always use a descriptive subject line.

2.) Always sign your postings. Include your name, your e-mail address and your institutional affiliation. But don't go overboard.

3.) Do not send encoded documents to the list. Ascii text only, please.

4.) Please try to keep the "chaff" - the messages that don't need to be sent to the entire list - to a minimum. These should be sent directly to the offerer. If you are unsure how to direct your reply to the individual instead of the list, check with your local e-mail system administrators. You may have to create a fresh message rather than using a reply function. (Remember that ADHESIONS is configured so that replies are sent to the entire list, not just the individual who posted the message.) To determine whether something should be sent to the entire list, ask yourself "Does this only involve one person, or will many ADHESIONS readers likely be interested in my message?".

5.) When sending a reply to the list, DO NOT INCLUDE THE ENTIRE PREVIOUS MESSAGE. Extract any relevant portions, if necessary.

6.) Keep your postings within the scope of the list.

7.) Absolutely NO Profanity will be tolerated
