Don't forget the junk at the bottom of emails. "Take my advice. I'm not using it." :-)
TImOTHY Hillock -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Eric Bielefeld Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 12:28 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Quoting Text I don't usually post things like this, but I thought it was a good idea to bring this up, as it happens a lot lately. I deleted all of the original text except the 3 lines added by IBM-Main so as not to identify the original poster. There are 4 sets of lines added by the listserver on the message I am quoting, plus one more will be added on. When replying to a post, please - scroll to the bottom and delete the old IBM-Main lines added by the listserver. Also, there were 3 sets of text quoted. I'm sure just the last posting was needed on email I quoted, so delete any old text not referred to by your post. Darren should probably be posting this, but since his job changed, he doesn't seem to monitor the list as much. If we all delete whats not needed, the University of Alabama will need to store much less information, and be happier to host our group. If you need to see quoted text from 2 messages ago, you can always click on the link at the bottom of each posting, and find the posting in the current months archives. Then click on "Previous in Topic" at the top of each message to find all the text you need. I'm not picking on anyone, but a lot of people don't delete anything. Also, there are a few people that don't quote any text, and that can be equally frustrating, as sometimes its hard to figure out what the poster is getting at.
