Yes, you are quite right and we have to remind folks once in a while that multiple levels of quoting is not only unnecessary on a listserv, it is annoying, especially on digests. This habit probably comes from the old office habit of multi-level-quoting personal emails, but has no place here, unless it helps to make a point.


Hi from Paris,


they include ALL of their previous exchanges in each mail - sometimes indenting to the seventh and even eighth level. This includes their logos, their personal mail addresses, their telephone numbers, and their life history, sometimes generating more than 200 lines of repeated text, for an earth-shatteringl 1 line message, such as "Yeah - this is so much fun when it works !"

Think about the others who have to plough through this rubbish to get to the next message. Select WITH DISCRIMINATION, the text that you think should be repeated. And never forget, with a single keystroke on your computer, you can send an ENORMOUS amount of b******t !

'Nuff Said !

-Francis
