Hi folks

Its been a while since I did a Pseudo Admin, but I figured that I need to say
something.

First I figure I need to make my friend Herr Doom's posting about quotes an
little more understand able.

With quoting you want to

1. be concise - chop out lines that mean anything - just keep what people
will need to understand what you are replying to

2. Who are you quoting? - put who wrote what you are quoting, before what
you quote

3. Quote the Write. Put what you are going to quote - and the write.
If you are reponding to different quoted areas , space things so
that they are understanble

4. Cut old quotings. If you respond to another post that has quotes, and you
really don't need to respond to the old stuff - Cut It

remember What you write
IQ = -------------------- x 100
Quoted Lines



On .Sig files

An old member named Dodger mentioned something that I find reasonable and
intelligent.

If what you are typing is SHORTER than your .Sig - Cut down your .Sig during
that post. ie - I only sent 3 lines, instead of sending my boinggeee!!!
.Sig I will just put in Nightfox - thats enough.
