Friends,
Here's another vote with Judy Hoffberg and Tamas S:t Auby
for greater care with reply function.
This past week has seen an increase in the use of reply
function to answer brief questions and post short comments.
At one point, one of those lengthy Buroughs passages was
resent in its entirety simply to post a one-sentence response.
On recent occasions, long passages and complete prior
posts have been going by the second and third time simply
to add a single line.
In the days before electronic communication, it was possible
to recall something by referring to it in a quick summary
sentence before offering our own comment.
Thanks.
Ken
