Ladies and Gentlemen,

There has recently been a spate of quite large (and very detailed and
useful) posts to the list. Unfortunately, some people have copied the
entire original when replying to it.

Because many of us have low bandwidth connections, it makes the
receipt and reading of these replies a costly (and annoyingly
expensive) operation. So ...

1. Unless you are commenting on the entire post, please copy just
enough to adequately identify the original and delete the rest in your
browser/mail composer program.

2. If your comment relates to a specific part of the original, copy
that part and delete the rest.

3. Please be sure that your comment adds something to the discussion.
Just adding "I agree" does not add significantly to it, and will be
rejected (see the list guidelines).

Finally, I would like to repeat a request made earlier, by another,
for the list members from ALL parts of the world to make their
comments on the current state of their olive business.

thanks
