Okay, just this once I won't pull out the comment to which I'm referring. I will just say that, of all the listservs I've been on, I thought that pulling relevant comments and posting by name (who said what), then removing all the unnecessary bits, was thoughtful and considerate for the reader. This is the first listserv which has a norm/protocol/etiquette that states we cannot write in this way. I promise I read through every post and saw Jen's suggestions for this group's posts--and I missed this one. I have been guilty of posting this way--as I do on many listservs. I had no idea it was banned! Now I'm going to post this the way I would have before the new rule was made. I hope you will see that I took out the irrelevant parts and only included the bits I needed for my post. I honestly thought I was being considerate NOT making you read through every bit of the other post to find the part to which I refer. I sure hope someone can explain why we're not allowed to do this anymore. Judy
THE WAY I PREFER: Elisa: Please, please don't preface comments with names unless they are used as greetings. If you have the name of the person who posted after their post and yours when you respond, then we know who is saying what.
