>>>>>>> Yep, I count 4 people who emailed the list in December saying that

May I politely suggest to clip quotes in a way that only what is necessary to understand the comment
remains?

The line above is from a post that quoted text that had been quoted six times previously already.
Chances are almost 100% that people interested in the thread already know what is being discussed.

Please be aware that some people on this list still read NewtonTalk on their Newtons. Others, like
myself, read it on a desktop computer and have a tendency to immediately switch to quick-scroll mode
until they descry a line not beginning with a ">". Which might result in their not helping with a
problem they could have helped with because they simply overlooked the few lines between all the
<<<<<<s.

Best regards

Frank
