That means that more of the people you are writing to are reading your posts in Digest (assuming they are actually reading) than individual messages. That indicates to me that, assuming we all want the list's subscribers to read our posts, we should all format our posts for maximum readability on the Digest -- we should all be considering Digest readers when we post to the list. -- David W.

Well, the lack of effort on the part of many posters in regard to trimming quotations indicates to me that there was little concern over the issue. Darcy's questioning of the utility of the Digest confused me into thinking that this was also a challenge to the basic request, that people take the time to post sensibly. -- David W.

I think the issue of people not trimming messages properly is simply one of learning netiquette -- just as with table manners, people new to something often need to be reminded about proper behavior, and people who are old-timers at it often need to be reminded to because neat habits can turn into sloppy habits. -- David H.
