The following is from the list policies [1].... Please note the second point..... a.. Trim your replies. If you have more quotation than original text, think about cutting down on the quoted stuff. The list members can look at the message to which you responded, or check the archive. Prune that quoted text with ruthless abandon. Everyone else will thank you for it, especially the list admin(s). Don't forget, thankful list admins are less hasty with the unsubscribe button. a.. The list admin(s) will scowl heavily in the direction of any Jeopardy-style quotations-- ** that is, putting your answer before the quoted question to which you're responding ** -- but won't actually unsubscribe you for doing it. Unless you keep doing it without trimming down your quoted text (see above). (emphasis added) [1] http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html It might be worthwhile for list members to review them..... After all, when we joined the list, we *all* agreed to abide by them......
