Dear spiders, I admit that the "Gentle Reminder" message is rather terse. That's my personal writing style (I'm a writer/engineer), but I know that it can rub some people the wrong way. It certainly was not my intent to make anyone feel unwelcome.
I have a pretty good memory, but not good enough to track the names/emails of those who do and don't trim, unless someone is really oblivious. I occasionally threaten to put a 'repeat offender' on digest mode for a week, although I've never had to do so. Below is the new "Gentle Reminder." I hope people find it more accessible. Regards, Avital Arachne moderator >>> Dear spider, Please remember to trim your post when quoting previous messages. This makes things easier on the digest subscribers and reduces clutter in the archives. If you normally trim your posts and you forgot this time, have a nice day!
