Dear All
The thing I find most difficult to follow is when
people reply to, or comment on, a message some way back in a thread. When
several people do this, the thread becomes a number of interleaved
conversations.
You can generally find out what someone is
commenting on, or replying to, by scrolling down to see the message that was
used as the basis for the reply. But even doing this does not always make the
thread of the conversation clear.
It would help if everyone adopted a standard of
formatting their messages along the following lines:
If abc is replying to message by xyz, he/she
formats the message as follows:
xyz said:
> extract 1 from xyx's message
> extract 1 from xyx's message
cont.
> extract 1 from xyx's message
cont.
abc reply or comment to extract 1
abc reply or comment to extract 1
cont.
abc reply or comment to extract 1
cont.
> extract 2 from xyx's message
> extract 2 from xyx's message
cont.
> extract 2 from xyx's message
cont. abc reply or comment to extract 2
abc reply or comment to extract 2
cont.
abc reply or comment to extract 2
cont. etc.
This would make things much easier for the
reader (although perhaps not for the writer!).
