A gentle plea ... please trim your posts

A gentle plea ... please trim your posts

2004-06-03 by moosetication

Folks,

I know that by default most mail clients (if you take your list by 
mail) and the Yahoo online web interface will quote the entire 
posting you are replying to. It's very tempting just to type your 
response, hit "send" and you're done.

But it's very, very hard to read. By the time you're a few messages 
in on a long thread, there can be a hundred lines of multiply-quoted 
quotes (where the line wrap has almost certainly been butchered) 
before a one-line response.

Please take the time and consideration to trim the original text in 
your replies. If you are just responding to a single point in a long 
posting, trim everything but the point you're responding to. If 
you're several posts into a thread, chop out everything but the most 
recent message.

It doesn't take long, it shows far more consideration for fellow 
group-members, and it's far more likely to get read. Put simply, 
it's good netiquette.

Thanks.

Stewart
