Re: excessive quoting on the list

parhaps it wouldnt be a peeve of yours if the entire digest didnt show up in the

reply box; I had always wondered if we were suppose to just leave it like that.

by the way, i, like alot of people, dont always read everything that i should,

and im sorry for that. For me in particular, due to my learning disability, im a

slow difficult reader so i read even less, and i dont always catch everything i

read either. my point is, unless the reply box stops showing everything, this

problem is simply never going to go away.

Oops. I apologize. I realize that in my two recent replies, I just added my statement and did not delete the previous ones. This is just a tough habit to break and I did not mean any disrespect. I'm wondering though: Sometimes for those of us who do not use the digest it is often helpful when reading to be able to reference what the latest person is responding to. Is there a compromise that would fit both formats? Maybe just leaving the part we are responding to, but deleting the long string of replies?
