List etiquette regarding Digest Mode

Greetings,

Just a gentle reminder to those of you using the list Digest mode:

 > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
 > than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-au digest..."

In other words, please replace the digest subject to something other 
than what is there automatically when you hit 'reply'. It is common 
courtesy to replace the default line with the subject as given for the 
passage you're responding to in the "Today's Topics" list (including the 
"Re:"). We request you do this so that our mailing list archives stay 
intact.

Additionally, please delete the text bits that are not the particular 
emails you're responding to. This will not only make it easier for us to 
understand what you're responding to when we read your email, but you 
will also be less likely to top post, which is likely to render your 
comments confusing.
