Good plan. Can we also have a test on the lines of the good-old-fashioned test for "more quoted than original text"? This will prevent accidental whole-digest reposts by the butter-fingered (from which I do not exclude myself -- I'm amazed I haven't had more Embarrassing Accidental Misposts by now...), as well the small bonus of giving what I understand (from my limited grasp of American Popular Culture) Dave Letterman might call a "heads up" to those that actually write messages like that. ;-)

Slainte,
Alex.
