>From: DELETED TO PROTECT THE GUILTY

[Four original lines and SEVERAL HUNDRED quoted lines deleted]

PLEASE folk, trim up your quotes a bit!

Nothing spells "newbie" so much as mindlessly including everything anyone has ever 
written on a topic. And when two of you go at it with each other, it's essentially 
unreadable to those who get the list in digest format.

The polite, thoughtful thing to do is to take a moment and pull out just those lines 
that you are addressing. Your few moments of thoughtfulness saves several thousand 
people several thousand moments of scrolling through the mess you make when you 
mindlessly include the entire thread in your reply.

Thanks in advance for your thoughtfulness!
