<RANT>Shame on most of you. Of six people to respond to Alison's announcement of the
CapCity toll meeting, it appears that five left the original message intact. (Among
the six, Darin wins the prize for using email courteously.) It would be one thing if
you quoted it productively in the fashion of message and reply as a way of providing
context to your reply, but instead you simply left the initial message appended * A F
T E R * your reply. If the quoting of the original message isn't being used for any
good purpose, you should know that you are subjecting readers to a bandwidth-wasting
repetition by not deleting the extraneous text the follows your own message. Leaving
in all that text also buries your reply such that readers may in some cases have to
hunt for it in all the over-quoted clutter. </RANT>
Just another thirty-seven cents' worth from E-Maily Post.
Okay, maybe this one wasn't so bad in terms of the relatively short length of the
extraneous text. But people have done this with posts of entire news articles
following their own two-sentence replies. In non-rant mode, I simply ask that you be
a little more diligent in taking responsibility for not overquoting in your messages.
When you quote from a message, do it purposefully and don't just leave the original
AFTER your reply. Thanks.
Now go have a lunch!
