I asked if he had any kind of cite to back up the claim that OO can read
more Word documents than Word can. He cited personal experiences, so the
answer was "no", because personal experiences are subject to selection
bias and sample space errors.
Thanks. I somehow missed that email. Maybe I bounced my delete key
(happens every once in a while).
Because of this, I find that I'm beginning to have the tendency to
skip (delete) your emails and just read the replies to them. And I
don't like this tendency because I like some of the info and opinions
you give.
OK. I'll try to keep more context. I work on the basis that disk is
cheap and mail clients are sophisticated, so when a list actually
maintains the threading, I don't quote anything I'm not directly
replying to. Comes from using way too much email, I guess.
I appreciate it. I *do* try to remember to trim. And I think I do ok
for the most part. But I'd rather leave a *little* too much context
than not enough.
I download my emails into my mail client (currently Thunderbird). I
keep the emails I think may be of some use to me later. Otherwise I hit
[Delete] after looking at it.
And my mail clients have never been very good at threading. They have
been good at it, but not *very* good. So I just keep emails in date
sequence, FIFO. Occasionally I will sort them by thread or by subject
(or whatever). The only problem with date sequence is that, when it
comes to Lan's correspondence, fairly frequently I don't see his emails
until after I read the replies.
