Leif" wrote in message news:... About 15 lines of stuff, clipped > -----Original Message----- About 35 lines of junk quotes ------------ This is a threaded news environment. It is definitely NOT necessary to quote entire articles that you are responding to. Just a couple of lines is enough. If people need more they can go look at the original which is right there. Please Robert (Leif) adjust your mailer (no doubt from our friends at Microsoft) to NOT automatically quote the entire message. I must say that I see an epidemic lately of a) people including junk HTML attachments that are redundant copies of messages. This of course serves no purpose, generates junk in many environments, and constitutes a security risk. b) people quoting entire messages all the time. The most aggravating is when you get two people doing it at one another and generating quadratic amounts of quoted junk. I gather that microsoft mailers are prone to encouraging people to make these two annoying mistakes. But they can be tamed. It is one thing for ignorant users of computers to be stuck with inappropriate microsoft defaults, but we are supposed to be people who know something about computers :-)
