ADMIN: Switch in Admin roles for next 2 weeks

Hi everyone,

Dave is going on vacation for 2 weeks, and I'll be filling in as
moderator during that time. Be afraid. Be very afraid. ;-) I'll do my
best to respond to admin requests and questions, but some things may
need to wait until Dave get back.

Thanks everyone for their patience.

Reset Button Icon

I need some suggestions on icons for a reset button. The button
de-selects all selected items located on a map. The problem, though, is
that the button must contain a 16x16 px image due to constraints on the
toolbar control itself, otherwise we would simply use a text button that
says "Reset." We need something that will be fairly recognizable since
our general user will have limited computer experience and rarely more
than a High school level education. We've been racking our brains over
here, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

ADMIN: Serious reqest re: limiting quoted

Hiya,

What I'm about to say is one of those things that those of us who don't do
digests never consider. (I'm as guilty as the rest of you; though I try.)

It is VERY important that people create a personal practice of limiting the
quoted material in their responses to ONLY those elements that are required.
It is seldom that you need the whole piece to give context to.
