Excessively long quotes when replying to list

[Dennis L. Haarsager]

Would be great if, when replying to a post on this list, you snip out all
but the one post to which you're replying.  This would be a great courtesy
to those of us who follow the list using the Digest option.  A couple posts
in this afternoon's digest quoted 20-some deep into a previous digest and
made it difficult to find numbered posts of interest.

Thanks and 73,
Dennis Haarsager, N7DH

Folks, Dennis correct. Its also list policy.

Please trim the copied text from previous postings when replying on a topic to the minimum needed to retain context. Usually a few sentences from the most recent email in the thread are sufficient.

Please also delete the list footer from prior posts when responding.

I've also noted that some respondents post with absolutely *none* of the original post that they are responding too.  That is equally frustrating as well. Please include at least a bit of the relevant post for those of us who read in digest mode.  Thanks.

For those using Thunderbird, it's really easy to do:

Select the part that goes with your comment, then click "Reply All" or
"Reply List" -- everything else will be eliminated automatically.

And some who append silly quotations to the end of their message . Who
really reads those canned quotes and who really cares what device was used
to send the message? Or the really interesting fact that you fat fingered
your smartphone or whatever and maybe made some typos ???
But please, please save me from the  unending 'Sorry for the Bandwidth'...

End of thread.

Let's close this thread now in the interest of reducing list traffic overload.
