Knowing list members - re: long posts

[David Skolnik]

Avery -
I agree.  I would adapt, maybe, if I had to, but 
I am presently totally wedded to the way I use 
Eudora to organize the list. Over the last 1 1/2 
years, I'd say that 98% are under 20 (K, I 
presume). The largest 3 were sent by David Love, 
but who's counting.  Most of the time, it's a 
fairly short response tacked on to a series of 
responses.  Sometimes it seems like an oversight. 
Other times, it seems like an effort to trace an 
on-going conversation to make a point.  Maybe a 
friendly reminder can be generated when a 
perpetrator errs. Sort of what John Delacour , 
Ron N, and Stéphane Collin did. Gentle reminders 
should take care of most of it.  At some point 
though, the question of how much of the previous 
post seems necessary to quote becomes a 
subjective call.  Since I don't use the archives 
regularly, or receive posts as a (what's it 
called?), I don't know the impact of extended quoting there.
After that, the question becomes, how much of the 
present post should have been deleted before sending, as in, not adding much.
