Occasionally I pick up a thread where someone has snipped off a reply to
an earlier post in mid sentence, which takes the original post out of
context. I know the point might seem clear to the person replying to
the post, but for the rest of us it leaves us with a totally different
picture of what the original idea was. Plainly put I get lost on the
original point, I guess.`:-{)
Anyway I don't mind the snipping of multiple previous replies, but
the immediate post (and the entire post, not a cut-off in mid sentence)
above the reply would be nice, just to make it easier to follow the many
different threads that are going on out there. I know that this is
common practice on a lot of other mailing lists, not to mention e-mail
in general.
Just a courtesy call I guess.
