Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hi all, Yes, please trim your posts -- sensibly. There are trade-offs either way-- and the writers who asked to have the stuff left in make interesting points. At the same time, in my experience this is an issue that every List Serve has to deal with some kind of way. I doubt very much that any moderator of ours is trying to enforce a fortune-cookie type of style for our conversation. At the same time, the build-up of text due to inclusion of entire messages IS cumbersome, not only for the brains of the majority-or-minority of humans with the List who find it so, but also for these dagnabbity mailboxes. With only 4 MB allotted, a person using HAS to engage in quite a bit of housekeeping *all the time*. And this also, as you may understand, takes away time and attention from engaging with the actual material under discussion! and the many many wonderful and worthwhile articles which are offered! (Besides making some folks' teeth curl like underrripe bananas do!) It seems to me that the " regular posters " somebody cited WILL know what a thread is about. And the rest of us, the Irregular Readers and Posters, have loads of options. <grin> Being irregular and all. So that is my $00000.02 Thanks for listening. And I for one also want to put in kudos for our " list mom's " generous and tireless care, and effort. Thanks Roger. best to all Gracie Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
