Ever get e-mails with everyone's brother's-cousin's-neighbor's-best friend's-mother's uncle's e-mail addresses showing at the top before you can get to the actual part your friend wanted to send?  Then you like it and want to send it to your buddies, but hate having to pass on all those addresses and clutter?  You need to learn how to "CUT" those unwanted parts out!  Once you learn how to "cut", then "copy" and "paste" are just as simple!
