Hi Colleagues,
When replying to questions, I have noticed that some people include past
replies from all the other people that have replied. ( See below example)
Can we all refrain from reposting these repeated replied.
I hope some of you don't get annoyed by my suggestion. Does anybody concur?

No. MOST DEFINITELY NOT.

I get this stuff off the list, and quite often I get the replies before the
questions.
This way I can stay sane. ( sorry, more sane)

What should be done, is everybody that sends in HTML should be shot, hung,
drawn and quartered.
Because when I reply and change the formatting to text, the previous
response is unquoted and no one can make any sense of it. :-)

No. Certain SNIPs are justified to remove great wads of redundant info, but
the general context of the entire conversation is very useful.

Have you ever walked into the middle of a conversation and left with
completely the wrong end of the stick? Have you ever used the archives to
search for a solution to your problem?

Can we all refrain from posting in HTML or MIME or anything other than
plain text?

Not annoyed. Not concurring.

Cheers,
