Dear fellow listers (**very important info follows**) -- This is a very heartfelt and anguished plea from your list concierge on a subject which I posted about on 29 Oct and again on 30 Oct! However, it continues to keep happening! What's causing me the anguish?? It's this. Please, please, please.......please??.......*do not* include entire posts written by another lister on the end of your own posts to the list! Please <snip> off (that is, delete!!) this information! Before you send *any* post to the list, scroll down below your own message to see if there is another post tacked on the end. If there is, please get rid of it before sending your message! Sometimes I've noticed that the added post has nothing whatever to do with the new message being posted. And sometimes a domino effect can also start happening, when more than one lister sends a reply to the list on the same subject and neglects to delete all the unnecessary stuff at the end. The result here is not just one uneccesary post which has not been deleted, but several. All of this is unnecessary duplication of information coming back to the list yet again -- and, it will be there in the list archives, wasting space and also duplicating info which is already there. If you are replying to another post, delete all of it except a small portion of it or, better yet, include a short statementof your own, letting others know what you are replying to (date, name, topic). In either case, put the <snip> or your own statement at the *beginning* of your own post. Keeping the <snip> at the end isn't very helpful. Anyone who's interested can then go into the archives to view that original post. Thank you for reading my tirade. I apologize for all the exclamation marks. Regards to all, Andrea (in my role as list concierge) PS. Maybe it's time for a small cognac to calm me down <g>. Except it's only ten thirty in the morning here. A cup of coffee will have to do.
