Hi Brian. A few days ago you posted asking people to snip excess material
when replying
to a thread.
Some are not honoring your polite request.
Could you put repeat offenders on "Digest-for-a-day" to let them see what
it is like to have 140 (yes, one hundred forty) Page Downs of waste
material?
Then they might get the message.

Come to launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/surfguitar101 and you won't have
the problem of having 140 pages. People don't cut out everything, we
cut out very old stuff, but we leave in the post we are replying to so
people who visit the above mentioned site can understand the context
of what the person is replying to. This, in my opinion, is very vital.

I fully agree - include the part your replying to. message 17645 is a
perfect example of how it doesn't make sense without the context.
on the other hand, there is no point in including the entire 20-message
thread as is sometimes done.
