Hm :)

seems times are changing ... to much.

Once when we invented eMail, it was common to DELETE all old text which is not needed anymore for citation.

Now everyone adds an answer to a text on the top. Top Answer Bottom Full Quote or something like this it was called.

Please, for mailing lists, especially for those who receive digests, like me: remove all text you are not commenting on.

It is so much more easy to read then ... and the digest is 90% smaller.

Sorry, I don't want to "teach" anyone, but when the internet was "invented" people also "agreed" on netiquette. I assume most people are to young to ever have heard about this, but this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style will give you an idea.

Keep in mind, we are on a MAILING LIST: everyone gets every email. Usually in the order it was sent in. So it is a waste of everything: energy, bandwidth, storage and most importantly: TIME in RL of the reader who has to check if more important stuff is following ... and is disappointed to read only AGAIN a quoted part that contains other quoted parts of other messages that contain quoted parts again of all the messages he already has read!

Sorry for this, but on this mailing list for some reason this "modern way of quoting" is abused to the extreme.

Best Regards,

Angelo
