In a way, the "Amens" to the list with no other substance should get 
"approved" and allowed to be posted.  If the "Amen" post came in with 
actual substance in how it blessed them, and maybe how it reminded them 
of a similar situation, I think it's o.k.  Otherwize, to use Bro. Richards's
term, the "amen" post is subject to getting "ZOTTED"...

Yup.  Seems to me a lot of the most recent thread on holiness was hashed
and rehashed comments (by rewording).  Seems like there's a Netiquette
item that deals with posting "just to be posting" or even not posting 
because someone else has already said what you want to say...  I think
if you have something new, different to say (that can add a different
element to the discussions) please do.

I hate to say it, but that kinda makes me sad.  As a "minister" of the
list, I feel like one of the "flock" has left when under my care.  :-(
I understand the reason though.

If people include their email address in a "signature" file, then you
should be able to "forward" a message back to them by cutting-n-pasting
the email address from the sig file to your "To:" input delivery item
box.  

I think, hello Bro. MARK (the official H-F FAQ preparer) that might be
a good thing to put in the FAQ about proper reasons to REPLY to the list
when it's something that everybody should read, or FORWARD a message 
back to the sender in response to what was origianlly sent to the list.
I think a basic "short course" in email might even be appropriate, explaining
what REPLY automatically does for you, what FORWARD does, etc.  About cutting
and trimming text down (from previous posts) so that each post doesn't get
longer-n-longer-n-longer.... basic "clipboard" type functions with copy,
cut, & paste might even be a good thing to include as well.
