Hi, David -- and welcome to the list.
Generally I agree with your comment, though I'm
sure I occasionally forget to edit as much as I
should. OTOH -- deleting too much can make the
reply pretty hard to understand, so both extremes
should be avoided.
The other thing is that these lists were never
designed to be read on the limited screen of a
smartphone -- and since I sometimes use mine to
read the messages, I realize what a problem the
limited real estate of those screens can cause.
Still, I'd rather read here with my iPhone than
post messages here with it's keyboard:-)

I know that I am new to this list but I’d like to make a plea from the heart (I
will be posting the same plea on some other groups):
Would list members please, please, please think about what they are doing when
they quote an entire message (and sometimes many, many replies) when posting to
the list.
Sometimes there are quotes of quotes of quotes and the content is actually just
one line!
In the main, I read this list on my phone and I sometimes find it almost
impossible sometimes to actually find the intended content!
What’s wrong with editing what you’re going to quote - and perhaps using <snip>
to show that you’ve done it?
Thank you for reading this and I hope that it will have a positive effect.
