![]() OK people you'll all need to read this: http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote2.html#ss2.5 In particular, pay attention to this part, please.... Notice how I do it. I do it right because I read the FAQs before I got on the news groups.... 2.2 What should not be quoted? Text to which you are not responding should be deleted. This way you make it easier for others to read your response without having to reread old text. Also, you save tons of bandwidth on thousands of servers. In general, signatures have nothing to do with the context of the article, and usually you are not going to refer to the poster's signature. Therefore, signatures should always be deleted. A good newsreader offers the possibility to do this automatically - of course only provided the signature was separated from the text with the correct delimiter (two dashes and a space on a single line). Cheers, Ellen |

Cheers, Ellen All the servers seem to be shutting down anyway and if you pay for it... Also when searching with a browser and you find the answer you need it is easier to confirm that if there is quoted text as this means you don't need to read the whole thread. I use people signatures to help identify who is who, not email addresses which more often than not say something like to avoid spam. :-P -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
