Well, that's their choice, now isn't it?
Why would you want to make life more difficult for Digest readers by
suggesting that no one should bother trimming their quotations?
What does it cost you to agree that cutting quotations to the minimum
is A Good Thing? Or how can you argue that it is a bad thing just
because you personally believe that nobody should be subscribed to
the Digest? That would be like me asking MakeMusic to remove the
features I don't use in Finale just because I can't see why anyone
would need them (e.g., Simple Entry).
Darcy didn't disagree with trimming messages. He only raised an oblique
issue questioning why anybody would receive the digest.
In his original message he began with "While I'm all for more selective
quoting," so I don't understand why you're construing his tangential
discussion of the relative merits of receiving individual messages as
indicating that he doesn't agree with Andrew's point about better trimming.
