To Pat and all the newsgroup from

I am having trouble with many messages on our newsgroup because (on the
Juno server at least) they start out like the one cited above. This
makes it difficult to refer back to whatever the original message was, or
even who it was from. (In the above instance only for example and not
criticism: Who skipped a generation at the top of what grouping on which
message ?)

I respectfully suggest that we all put our thinking caps on and devise
some kind of reference number to place on our submissions so that they
can be retrieved and referenced. We could use our name plus the month
plus a sequence number (i.e. donrhea 4-1 for the first message in April)
or whatever suggestions anyone may have. Without a reference number, as
our list matures, it is going to become impossible to retrieve and index
this valuable information.
