Subject:      NVC - Venting over messages

I have been reading the debates about closing the list and here's my comment -
the problem is mostly with the list members - just a day or so ago I saw a
reply to a reply to a reply to a reply to a reply to a reply of an original
message (>>>>>>> - count em - SEVEN embedded deep.) I can understand including
some of the original message for clarity, but replying to the 100+ line German
dude's description of a transmission's inner workings and including the entire
message body in your reply just wastes archive space and my time scrolling
through the digests to get to the substance. So, in a few words:
CLIP ORIGINAL MESSAGES WHEN YOU REPLY!!!
