I'm afraid it's pointless Martin ... I've pointed out the same
thing again and again and again, and no one does anything. They
just can't be arsed to select all the old replies in their
followup and press <Delete> to remove them - it's just too hard
for them to do, apparently. Even though we ALL know that when
you read a message that consists of the reply at the very top
(a non-sequitur - replies should come *after* the text you're
replying to) and alllllllll of the previous 23 messages in the
thread below that, *NO ONE READS ANY OF THOSE PREVIOUS 23
MESSAGES THAT GOT INCLUDED* because the poster couldn't be arsed
to select all the old text and delete it.
Personally, I used to like Usenet software that rejected posts
with more lines of included text than new text. Draconian,
perhaps - but it at least made you think about what you were
posting, and it made you whittle down the old text, like it or not!
