through all the lengthy posts that come through the net ! great idea dave.

[ Well, I can think of quite a number of ways to improve the list, all of
which involve time and effort to implement. Unfortunately, we only have
so many characters "to play with" in the subject line, and some systems,
like that of the APC network, which carries NativeNet material in their
conference system, limit the number of characters even further. It would
be far easier to add a line to the start of the message itself, or to
stick a "Comment:" line into the message header for articles. I appreciate
David's offer (see above), but I know of no easy way to separate things
according to their point of origin geographically, which is what I suppose
David intended to refer to (as opposed to the part of the world covered
in the article itself - since we don't often cover the "original" inhabi-
tants of what are now the "British Isles"). --Gary ]
