Hi all,
I deliberately left this message as it came to me, and I have
reproduced it here.
Please note, there are four messages below my own here, making this
message train contain five messages. In addition to the four actual
messages, you have headers from all four messages, plus four copies of
the tagline of the list. This bloats the message into a huge unwieldy
monstrosity that is no good to anyone. the proper way to deal with a
message of this type, is only to include the first requoted message,
leaving the other old stuff out.
It only takes one second to quote what is necessary, then to use the
ctrl-shift-end command to select to the end of the quoted material and
hit the delete key. The tagline for the list will be automatically
added to your message, not five times but just once, as it should be.
Taking the ten seconds needed to trim quoted material helps in so many
ways! It trims the archives to a reasonable size for accurate
searching, it avoids huge byte counts for those of us who either have
cell phones or pay for our access by the byte, and it is simply courteous.
One thing I've found that works amazingly well is that if you want to
reply to an individual, say you want to agree with him/her, use the
copy to all command and then simply go to the CC field, do a ctrl-a and
hit the delete key. This will remove all your CC's and you can send
your "me too" message to the original poster without clogging up the
list with short one-line messages.

Hi Folks,
If we all could leave one or two old responses it would be really helpful
when someone just says yup or thanks. I like to know what's being discuss
but almost always forget! Thanks!

Thanks for the reminder.I hope I haven't been guilty of that, but if I
have, I apologize and will be careful heretofore. (although it sometimes
helps to know what was said before that the new person is responding to.
(so I've left yours here)
