Re: [Elecraft] Excessively long quotes when replying to list
I've also noted that some respondents post with absolutely *none* of the original post that they are responding too. That is equally frustrating as well. Please include at least a bit of the relevant post for those of us who read in digest mode. Thanks. Terry, W0FM -Original Message- From: Dennis L.

This would be a great courtesy to those of us who follow the list using the Digest option. A couple posts in this afternoon's digest quoted 20-some deep into a previous digest and made it difficult to find numbered posts of interest.

For those using Thunderbird, it's really easy to do: Select the part that goes with your comment, then click Reply All or Reply List -- everything else will be eliminated automatically. -- Lynn On 8/18/2013 6:10 PM, Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft wrote: Folks, Dennis correct.

Re: [Elecraft] Excessively long quotes when replying to list
And some who append silly quotations to the end of their message . Who really reads those canned quotes and who really cares what device was used to send the message? Or the really interesting fact that you fat fingered your smartphone or whatever and maybe made some typos ??? But please, please save me from the unending 'Sorry for the Bandwidth'...
