Especially read the part about quoting. This has gotten out of hand on this list.

Look what I just got from the admin interface:

All of that is quoting. That's ridiculous. I let that one through but this is the last time.

As a digest reader (I'm not the only one), this is incredibly annoying. Since some people reply on top and others below, I constantly have to hunt for the message.

Given that I often get these messages on my phone (I'm not the only one), that task is even harder.

Please be considerate of others.

Sorry, that was me. After I got the moderator notice I took a knife to the message and resubmitted.

And that's a good pointer. I was not aware of that convention. I had intentionally not trimmed posts for the sake of anyone who wanted to catch up on the flow of a thread by reading a single email. But of course that's a two-edged sword, and I see now that the etiquette here is both to snip and to bottom-post.
