I wasn't going to comment on this but the arrogance and rudeness of BILLY WILLY should not go unnoticed.
I too find this reflector of great value...most of the time. Rod's point is valid and appropriate. I too use a smartphone or portable computer to read the DIGEST. The recent digest with 27 copies of a lengthy series of digest replies went way beyond the limited email capacity of many smartphones. The problem, of course, is not new. It will take 2 or 3 more generations before attrition eliminates thoughtless repliers. Taking a moment to delete the original text that follows one's reply, especially when that original text is hundreds of lines, that EVERYONE HAS ALREADY SEEN, is a thoughtful and considerate practice. No matter what your stand on the lazy, inconsiderate practice of failing to trim replies, the response by Bill WILLY was unnecessary, rude and useless. Worse it added to the abundant futility that was already an entirely too long digest. If you have nothing good to say, keep it to yourself. If nothing else BILLY WILLY's reply violates the purpose and spirit of this reflector. I wish the reflector had the ability to delete any line of text that begins with ">" which would end the lengthy reply problem fully. 73, Frank N.
