I agree Dawn and sometimes it is good to see the trend of the messages particularly if you have come into things a little late.   Regards Wal Towells “May all the trees that you grow, bear fruit” --- On Fri, 15/5/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [HV] Repeat messages To: [email protected] Received: Friday, 15 May, 2009, 10:49 PM Quoting the entire text of a previous message or returning whole message digest in a reply is poor netiquette, annoying and time-wasting.

Dear Wal, It is for that reason that we have all messages archived. The List Administrator put that message there in good faith and it is indeed poor etiquette not to do so, evidenced by that message being on this message three times. All a matter of space and time for listers who want to assist others plowing through information that is not productive. Have a look in the archives. Sincerely,Bill >I agree Dawn and sometimes it is good to see the trend of the messages >particularly if you have come into things a little late. > > Regards > > > > > Wal Towells

Please don't do it. " to all posted messages is to encourage subscribers to think about the amount of text they are posting back to the list when in the past they have added their ' Thanks for the info' to a complete message digest and sent the whole shebang back to the list ............ The affect of that is messages get posted more than once, get archived more than once and can quickly land up in an unintelligible string of multiples of Quoting the entire text of a previous message in a reply is poor netiquette.
