I forgot to mention that when quoting, you should NEVER include the info footer that is added to every message.
And we sometimes see footer after footer after footer. For some folks, that takes time on line, which costs real money.

I too am on cable, as well as being on several other lists. The point in having simple rules like: deleting all but the most relevant portions of the message we are replying to is just common courtesy. So that the reader will not have to plow through all that unnecessary verbiage. Just leave enough information so the topic is understood. My time is important, so the easier we make it for others to follow the line of though between messages the better. The reason for requesting the reply follow the repeated portion of the thread is so the reader will know what the message relates to. Then they will know if they wish to read any further. Another reason is so the format of each reply to a message is consistent therefore making reading dozens of them easier.
