Since we have a new member and also a number of recent
counterexamples, I'd like to remind Volks that we request you remove
unnecessary leftover material from previous posts from your own gems
of wit and wisdom.  Briefly quoting the particular idea you're
replying to and then replying below it is the preferred method.


To some of you this seems entirely a non-issue.  I assure you that
there are others who find posting brief replies on top of a large
mass of unused quoted material to be somewhere between rather
irritating and...well, a lot worse than that.  A general rule of
Netiquette is that your original material should be at least half as
big as the amount you quote (and that what you do quote should be relevant).


Yours,
d mod
