The biggest challenge (I think) to leaving all the text included (other than just text/data bloat) is that many of us aren't responding to the entire linear text of every response that came before... we are often responding only to part of it which suggests a tree structure rather than a simple linear "thread" as we colloquial call it... it is more of a multi-filiament?
Just to help ensure my sanity, my email subject window looks like this: https://goo.gl/photos/thJWHVxy8cfPv3Qq7 I've always assumed everyone else's does too... So, when one looks at the content of a mailing list like this, they can _see_ trees of threads, right? If not, I highly recommend a modern client. 8^) It helps a lot. Now for a little thread hijacking:
... I think Nick is really *wanting* more than is implied by the specific question. ...
Renee' uses the grammatical construct like "I am wanting ..." or "She was wanting ..." all the time. It drives me batty, though I've kept my mouth shut about it so far. I suppose it's correct in some sense. I just cannot make myself think that way. If I want something, then I want it... not wanting for it or anything weird like that. Maybe you can tell me how "Nick is wanting" structures your thoughts different from "Nick wants"? -- ☣ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
