Hi,
not wanting to sound like the net police or anything, but ... people
seem to have got into the habit of quoting all of the original emails
that relate to a subject when they reply to the list.
Aside from the fact that it's generating a lot of unnecessary email
traffic, it's making the 313digest practically unreadable; the last
digest contained only 4 x new postings hidden amongst lots of recycled
emails that I've had to scroll past several times today. It's making my
eyes hurt and my scroll wheel is approaching meltdown ;-)
I think it's perfectly reasonable to quote the relevant sections of
previous posts for the sake of context, but I think remailing the entire
thread is a little unnecessary from a signal to noise perspective.
Does that sound like a reasonable request, or should I just give up on
trying to read the digests and subscribe to the normal list ?
Thanks,
sImon
