Subject: Mailing List Courtesy


Can everyone watch out for long replies? Right before you post a Re:
message, scroll down the message you are sending and trim the copied message
at the bottom. It seems some people are copying all of a digest into a
reply, and its really making the list hard to read. And also, make sure
messages you are replying to are "marked". Example:

>From:somebody@...
>Title: Blah blah
>
> Can someone tell me some mailing list courtesy?
> thanks,
> Brother Somebody, 3rd level Cleric of Xzyyz

The ">"s make it easy to skip old messages. Its worth the few extra seconds,
and often your email software can do it automatically. Thanks,
