I agree with you in principle but I see no need for headers or footers or 23 
messages that say the same thing. I understand what Lord Stefan is trying to 
do and he knows that I support his efforts 100%. I just think that the noise 
factor can be reduced to a significant degree resulting in the use of less 
space and less time reading the files. Yes, I know how much time it would 
take but the resulting archives would be easier to use and much more useful, 
IMO.

Also after a subject has been discussed the error posts can be eliminated 
completely why keep a post that says that a blade of grass is green after one 
that correctly identifies it as green is received later? Eliminate the 
garbage and Stefan's archives would be a boon to the world, IMO.

What is the perfect archive? Thoughts? Mine have been submitted. :-)
