I apologize that it was a flood.
This is often a problem of a sweet spot type. Sometimes you need a flood of info, others a quick note that there is a problem. A tip that's worked for me in the past is that you put a quick and concise summary and then the flood of details after. This way the readers don't get lost and can look up particulars if needed. Also, if you get a vague reply and details were spread across a thread it is helpful to send a recap email. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
