RE: FLASH: lists - do we really need to quote entire messages???

[Len Harrison]

Personal opinion: No, quotes in tota are not necessary. I tend to avoid this

myself, particularly in long messages or threads, less in replies to short

msgs.


Personal observation: However, the world looks different in digest mode. A

lot of us seem to be in immediate mode on this list, judging from the rapid

responses I sometimes get. Both respondants to this thread are digest. In

immediate mode, you just get the titles and then open them up. Most people

post the new stuff at the top, so some of us never even notice when a msg is

quoted in full and when not. Personally, I'll try to keep my pearls more

digestible in the future.
