FYI I do not get the digest...

I do find it convenient to try to follow the thread back all in one email...

very easy and convenient to refer back and see what has been said...sometimes to

find out what the previous poster was referring to and how (perhaps ) we got off

on a tangent / or not...

so some of us come at this from differing points of view - the single post

receiver and those who get the digest...not sure who is in the majority...and

surely we all want consideration for our perspective

but having said all that to let some digest folks understand where some of  the

rest of us may be coming from, I will try to do better...thanks for raising my

understanding on this issue...

For those of you who STILL refuse to clip your messages, you should know

that this thread has enough previous conversations attached to it to cause me

(getting the daily compendium) to have to click page-down FIFTY-NINE TIMES, in

order not to miss the start of the next message, which in today's case comprise

responses of from one to about twenty lines PLUS all that has been carried

forward many times over. There have been 129 responses to this thread, and I

don't think ANYone bothered to clip.

Do all of you folks actually READ every message, including those which have come

before, or are you just too lazy to go to the group-site and pick up something

you think you might have missed.

First I had to suffer through the Dee and Duncan Show until I wanted to throw-up

.. . . now I have to waste my time drilling down over and over until my

fingertips ache . . . all because people either don't know the rule about

clipping messages, or simply don't care.

Annoyed? You bet I am! I've just about had it with people who refuse to be

considerate of others.

I am not going to clip this message. Perhaps when you see how long it has grown

because you take the line of least resistence, you will understand what has me

so riled up. Or, more probably, not.

I get individual e-mails also. But I never throw out old messages to

this group. Long threads, repeated over and over again fill up my

hard drive and make searching for past entries into a thread a real

pain.

Tim everything but the post you you are responding to, or maybe the

one before that. But please trim off the rest.

Actually, that can be done right on the website - just click on " messages in

this topic " and you can see them all online.

Also, some email programs expand spaces so over time such emails in

digest form are extraordinarily long. 59 lines is NOTHING. As a lark,

I thought I would see how long brookela's email example really was.

Around 1100 clicks. Seriously, eleven hundred. It is beyond annoying,

people. I don " t normally click, but have to go very slowly and

carefully in order to find the next message.

Actually whenever I have tried to do that, it doesn't work and I have never been

able to find the previous posts.  So I find it very annoying when posts are

trimmed to such an extent that you cannot tell what they relate to.

They are all right there on the website - it tells you how many messages are in

this topic and that's what you click on to read them all.
