Standard email and list protocol is to put YOUR reply ABOVE any content that has been previously stated. This is especially crucial to those that are getting digest versions as it allows them to more easily scan messages. Of course "trimming" and condensing of previous replies is a great idea.
Please be aware that some people have been observing other rules for replying to messages and that in the "heat" of the conversation will default to their usual way of replying. I have one very close friend that has her own unique way of replying to messages. I understand that this is "how she rolls" and live with it (and also buy her lunch from time to time!). As well, digest members PLEASE try to modify your subject before sending. As well, if you are replying to a unqualified "digest" post, please change subject to something meaningful. Something like "Understand Digest, Vol 2, Issue 8" doesn't help people, so please be careful on this. I have been lurking on this list and have been amazed both at the content and congeniality of the posts. So let the dust settle on the protocol issue, do the best you can, and move on to more great interchanges of ideas. keith mack [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Understand mailing list [email protected] http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/understand_literacyworkshop.org
