Could be, but I'm a young'un and I'd like to leave it whole (my masters
program in museum studies took the holistic approach so that may have
something to do with it, too).  I do, however, agree with previous
suggestions for us "museumellers":
1) only include the parts of previous messages essential to understanding a
reply
2) short & descriptive subject titles

I know several professionals here and elsewhere who quit this list because
of the volume of material.  I know people will always come and go, but I
think we can each take the time to be considerate with our own postings.

As Stan Lee used to say (and maybe he still does):  'Nuff said.
