It's that time again, folks. Yup, time to look at the messages
that you're collectively sending to the list and say, "good gods, why
didn't I edit them more judiciously?"
Posts have been getting *really* long of late. When our
signal-to-noise ratio drops to it's current level, it's time to start
editing your posts. Only quote the relevant material from pervious
messages. Do *not* include all 150 lines of someone's rant just to say,
"yeah, I agree" or "no, and I think you're a wanker." Read the FAQ.
The
posting guidelines are clearly stated there, and proper editing of quoted
material is high on the list.
Good editing is polite, it makes threads easier to follow, and it
makes archives and digests *much* smaller. So please take the time to
chop out the deadwood and only quote the relevant parts of the messages
you are replying to.

Remember: the bandwidth you save could be your own.

These messages were posted a long time ago on a mailing list far, far away. The copyright to their contents probably lies with the original authors of the individual messages, but since they were published in an electronic forum that anyone could subscribe to, and the logs were available to subscribers and most likely non-subscribers as well, it's felt that re-publishing them here is a kind of public service.
