This is why I only quote the relevant part of message, usually the last one or two replies at most. The frustrating thing for me is when the email is set up to reply at the BOTTOM of all the quoted text. Can't people see it's a hassle to scroll all the way through 5 pages of quoted text to see w

Thanks for explaining, Francis. Yes, I agree that one level of quoting is sufficient, but I also believe it is necessary. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 502

Hi to all who may have had problems understanding my very bad English, You are correct, I did mention 6 and 7 levels, I felt sure that many of you would think that this is a little excessive. Of course, Mark, I agree that one level is perfectly acceptable, IF the mail is counsel, or an answer to

Re: Wasting space on the forum.

Hi Matthias, True, he spoke of 6 or 7 levels, but he didn't explicitly say whether he is against quoting at all or only against excessive quoting. I got the impression he is against quoting at all, but as I said I might be mistaken and perhaps Francis could explain it. -- Best regards, Mark S

Hi Mark, Francis spoke about 6 to 7 levels of quoting. And that is at least for me excessive quoting and makes it sometimes very hard to read and understand. Regards, Matthias Am 11.11.2011 um 19:02 schrieb Mark Schonewille: > Hi Robert, > > No, I don't think he meant excessive quoting, I t

Hi to any out there who agree, or who don't agree. I have better things to do than scan down repeated messages. I thought that some of you may agree ! (previous threads on this subject got better responses, and I thought that a reminder was a good idea ). It is your prerogative to fill the forum

Hi to any culpritsl, Sorry to any of you who include past mails within their new mail ... BUT . You are wasting space ! Some of you go up to 6 or 7 levels, without thinking that we don't need to see the same information 6 or 7 times. If anybody wants to follow whatever was
