LOL... Thanks Andree. In response, I have only this to say... One: I don't generally respond in that way. Regular readers of this list know that I either respond off-list or by appending rather than prepending my reply. I apologize for prepending my hasty reply to an email which didn't warrant a reply in the first place. Two: Zoe's email is meant to clarify an issue which is not clearly defined in the list policies: Quoted directly from http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html (item 3): "Trim your replies. If you have more quotation than original text, think about cutting down on the quoted stuff. The list members can look at the message to which you responded, or check the archive. Prune that quoted text with ruthless abandon. Everyone else will thank you for it, especially the list admin(s). Don't forget, thankful list admins are less hasty with the unsubscribe button." This portion which reads "...think about cutting down on the quoted stuff..." is abiguous at best. I also had not fully read Zoe's reply, which was included in a reply to another question. While it's nice to think that every message sent to the list is read in its entirety, that's probably unrealistic. I imagine if Zoe thought I was a regular violator of this practice, she would have emailed me to set me straight. Three: Don't you have any reply or line of thinking relating to my ORIGINAL email? ___________________________________________________________ $0 Web Hosting with up to 200MB web space, 1000 MB Transfer 10 Personalized POP and Web E-mail Accounts, and much more.
