[Foundation-l] Cutting quotes and other such stuff

Mon Dec 13 00:05:45 UTC 2004

Please, please, PLEASE, people, do NOT quote the whole post you are 
repling to - only sections of it that are somehow connected with your reply.

And please write your replies UNDER the quoted messege, not above it.

These are general netiquette rules and are to facilitate reading. You 
read form top to bottom, right? That's why it's only logical to have the 
quote first and the reply second. They also keep the size of the posts 
down. Essencially, if you quote the whole post in your reply, you're 
making all the readers download it twice (first the original and then 
it's copy in your reply).

Please try to follow these rules. Thank you.

P.S. I didn't want my first post here to be concerned with such matters 
but after a few posts I saw in this ("e-gold proposal") thread I changed 
my mind. :) So... I'd just like to say "Hi" to everyone here and 
apologize if anyone viewed the tone of the above as harsh - I didn't 
want to offend anyone.
