At some point hitherto, David T-G hath spake thusly: > % Disagree, all this GO BACK AND READ THE THREAD! nonsense is insulting. > % Of course I've been reading the thread. > > I don't think the comment is directed at you; we know you've been > reading. I think that the argument is that leaving in large amounts > of quoted text (or, in the Outhouse way, the entire past history of > the universe without the benefit of context quoting or even in-order > presentation) is pointless; those who have been reading along will know > what's up, and those who haven't should go back to the original messages > instead of expecting everyone to reread the same stuff with every post > just so that someone new could come up to speed in one message.
