Steiner, While Lars is a wonderful researcher, I agree with you that emails can get way out of hand. Too many of us don't take the time to properly edit them when we make our replies. Part of the issue is that for some of us, English is our first language, and for others, it's not. However, Lars and other Norwegian speakers uses some non-American expressions that I think the rest of us can figure out, and I think the same goes for American-speakers writing for the Norwegian speakers. That's not the problem you're concerned with, I think. Another problem, which is perhaps out of our control, is the incompatibility of computer systems. I think I remember that particular email, and while it wasn't easy to read, it didn't look nearly so bad on my system. Here are a few suggestion, that might help, though. We need to spend a little more time editing our replies. Another list I'm on makes heavy use of the expression <snip> First, and I'll use Lars as a great example here, be sure you lay out your research problem clearly. He always tells us what he knows, using just one person or family per email. Then he states clearly what questions he needs answered, even numbering them if there are several. That lets the reader know what he wants help with. And he thanks us in advance, always a nice touch. When replying to an email, by Lars or anyone else, we can, and should, *delete* the part of the original email that's not relevant to our actual response. In place of the deleted part, use <snip> so the reader knows there's missing stuff, that they can go back to the original if they're interested. Then the reader will see the < in front of the parts of the original email that you've retained, and that you're going to comment on. Don't forget to delete the material at the bottom that tells you how to unsubscribe from the list! I guarantee you, it will *automatically* get added on when your email is printed to the list. We don't need to see all the times it appeared. Some email systems reproduce the < with every time an email is reproduced. Others, like gmail, which I use, use instead a vertical line and an indent. This has its own problems, as the text gets narrower and narrower. The gist of the issue is, when you're responding to an email, either delete the info that's irrelevant to your response, and put in a <snip> to indicate what you've done. Another solution is to compose a new message that begins "In response to. . . " and summarizes the current issue you're discussing. Either one of those should get rid of the kind of gobbedlygook that makes Steinar and many of the rest of us hit the delete key when we might be interested in if the material were properly presented. I'm leaving the whole thing in just so you can see what he's talking about. I would show a "fixed" version of that message if I could figure out what the question is, and what the answer is. Unfortunately, I can't. I join Steinar is a call for more clarity in our editing of replies to original messages, so that we can better help each other in our queries. Thanks for pointing out this problem, Steiner. I know I've been guilty myself, as it's the easiest thing to do. But it's not helpful to leave things alone, add more stuff, and thus just to the problem for the next person reading our reply. More input on this issue would be welcome.
