It is easy to set preferences to not include message in the reply.
I suggest that people not use their personal address

Dear Friends,
I might as well jump in with complains although I may sound
like Mary Sue's echo

I'd be a much happier correspondent if

Every one signed their message

Every one changed the subject when appropriate to reflect the
ACTUAL TOPIC

Everyone gave some sort of location info- -city, state,
country, climate.... SOMETHING !

Everyone who replies 'Me too" do that via private email, not
to the whole group.

and Everyone erase most of the original message except for
specific points of reply.

I am sure I could complain more, but these seem pretty basic
'good manners' for all participants.

Thanks Jim W.
