Please snip your quotes! Have a heart!

Most of the readers of this list get the daily digest rather than as individual e-mail messages, which means we have to scroll through miles and miles of messages with long and unnecessary quotes. This list seems to be particularly bad in this respect in that people, particularly the frequent posters, quote the entire posting to which they are responding; some people even quote the whole thread to which they are adding. This is unnecessary. All you have to do is to "snip" the point to which you are responding. Have a heart: most of us who are trying to glean some interesting information to learn something or to solve a problem, are forced to scroll through miles of this ridiculous quoting. I don't know why this list is so bad in this respect because the EpsonWideFormat is much better in this respect. Please be considerate and SNIP. --Mitch/Bangkok
