trimming posts

[Guest guest]

I usually try to steer clear of these little e-mails that tend to get sent

back and forth with what sounds like picking a fight. I definitely

understand the need for trimming posts to where one has the part of the

original message at the end of the reply. For me, it is because I get the

digest version. But only in regards to where someone replies to a digest

and doesn't trim anything.

 

I can never tell where the end of that message ends and the rest of the

digest continues because there is then at least 2 complete digests together.

Sometimes I just give up in frustration and delete the whole thing, after I

get to the end of the message that wasn't trimmed because I keep seeing all

these posts that I know I've read.

 

That is all I have to say on this matter. But I know others get the digest

version and may agree how confusing it gets when there are 2 or more digests

within one.

I receive Digests for every group I am a member of. I am rarely able

to check my email every day so it is much easier to read each groups

postings in one continuous email instead of 25 seperate ones. I too,

find it very frustrating to read through 6 copies of the same post

just to see what the next person had to say. (If you notice, here in

this message I left in only what I have directly responded to, though

the subject makes it very clear what this message is about.) More

often than not when I encounter a digest full of untrimmed posts I

simply delete it as I do not have the time to weed through everything

I have already read at least once.

 

Anyway, to cut this email short, Roger, I am all for trimming posts,

I vow to always trim posts here and in every group I post on. I

understand your frustration and am also smart enough to read the

subject or a post and the little snippets that are left after

trimming to figure everything out on my own.

 

Keep up the good work...I don't find you anal at all. )

I'm really new to this list, and don't know anything about raw foods, so haven't

contributed anything, but I don't understand what the uproar is about re

trimming posts - which is a netiquette *requirement* or every well managed list

I've ever been on in the last 10 years or so. If the gentlemen wants to view

posts in total, read them online and click on " Expand Messages. "

 

One person shouldn't be the deciding factor in a very well-established and

ubiquitous requirement.

 

Thanks,
