I rarely agree with David but in this case he is making a reasonable request. For example, it's not good etiquette to take a potshot at someone's remarks and not have enough guts to attribute the quoted material as the offender in this case often does. Furthermore, if one was to analyze the delinquent email over a long period of time, it's possible to notice that consistently, some people are attributed correctly and others not. I for one would welcome a switch to a less discriminatory style of posting.
