RE: Quoting in Replies [7:71366]
A lot of list newbies probably don't realize that many list old-timers read the messages via e-mail. The messages arrive as they are sent or posted. They are essentially sorted by time rather than topic. They are not grouped by subject in any way. They use a synchronous, connectionless, stateless, delivery mechanism. :-) John is right. A message that arrives this way without any context is terribly annoying and pretty much useless. The reader wants to know what it's talking about but can't easily tell without going through a bunch of old messages which are sorted by time, if they were kept at all. Many of us use the Web to post our messages. If you are on the Web right now, take a look at the text-input box below this message. Beside that tempting outlined Post button, see the Quote button? Press that first. It puts the original message into the text box. Only delete it or parts of it if it's gotten really long-winded or you said something embarassing a few messages back that you don't want people to see again! ;-) Seriously, leave the message intact and reply to it, in context. Most e-mail programs also have a way of saying that you should quote the original message when you reply. Please enable this. And, as discussed above, if you post with the Web, please realize that we need you to emulate that e-mail function of quoting. Use your Quote button. Thank-you.

RE: Quoting in Replies [7:71366]
Until it becomes such an unwieldy and nasty message... Sometimes I take out some of the messages to avoid gargantuan replies. Sometime I post inline to directly respond to certain viewpoints. Otherwise you tend to get that nasty... "um.. you didn't answer that question" syndrome. I think quoting relevant info is good, not sure on the entire bit. Some of the other mailing lists I am on suggest I do not quote every little detail to avoid the gargantuan replies of doom. ;) > I agree.

Your use of "Merciless" has caused me much lost income due to trademark infringement. Please cease and desist or I will be forced to bypass my Death Ray and go straight to my attorney.

RFC 1855, was RE: Quoting in Replies [7:71366]
While we're on this topic, I just now found out there was an RFC that deals with these issues. Here is a snippet from that RFC: " - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!" Of course, by top-posting I'm breaking this rule, but Shawn did it first! John >>> Kaminski, Shawn G 6/25/03 3:06:59 PM >>> I agree. I was going to rag about this the other day, but figured that many people on this list already think I bi*ch too much about other things! :-) Shawn K. -Original Message- From: John Neiberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Quoting in Replies [7:71366] Okay, this is getting really old, really fast. When responding to a post, PLEASE QUOTE WHAT YOU'RE REPLYING TO! The number of unintelligible posts is increasing and some simple quoting would help immensely. Perhaps the issue is that if you use the web-based board to post a quote does not happen by default. So, if you are using the board to reply to posts, please hit the QUOTE button and edit appropriately. Thanks, John (who is exceptionally grumpy today, and it shows. Sorry about that.)
