PLEASE!

[w7aqk]

Hi All,

I know this is probably the "umpteenth" time for this request, but it seems
to need repeating.

When you reply to a post on this list, PLEASE, PLEASE, trim what you copy
over from previous posts!!!!!  This is particularly problematic for those of
us who take the "digest" form.  I just went through the last digest (Volueme
119, issue 36), and the trail of prior postings is incredible!  Some had 5
or 6 prior posts attached, and all of those had those same previous ones as
well.  That's insane!

I know at least one or two lists where not properly trimming attachments
would get you a hand slap (or more) from the moderator.  But it is really
bad form, and just clogs up the server with excess gunk!

Anyway, it would be much appreciated if folks would be a bit more
considerate, and help to make this reflector a more convenient tool to use.
Just my opinion, and not trying to "moderate", but I do think it is wholly
appropriate for anyone to make such a request.

Thanks.

Dave W7AQK

Dave's comments and request are on target. I
switched from digest to regular email for that
reason. With email I built a filter so all these
posts go into an "Elecraft" folder vs. my Inbox --
and now am pleased I switched from digest.

In contrast, on the Yahoo reflectors the default
seems to be to not quote the message replied to.
When that happens I'm often puzzled since there is
*no* context. So a good balance is a good thing.

Just IMHO :-)
