    Subject: [Please Read] Trim That Message!!
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Pietenpol Listers, I've been getting a number of complaints from various members regarding a bit of List Etiquette. Primarily, the issues have revolved around the trimming of previous posters text when replying to a message. In one example I saw recently, the person replying sent a one-line response to a message and included over *three pages* of quoted text in the message!! This just fills up the archive and people's email boxes with lots of useless data. This issue is specifically addressed in the Pietenpol-List FAQ and Usage Guidelines found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/ftp/Archives/Pietenpol-List.FAQ.html Specifically, the following paragraph speaks directly to this issue: "When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated!" Please be courteous and kind to your fellow Listers and to the Archive file and take a moment to trim out the unneeded quoted parts of a reply. I thank you; the Archives thank you; all of the other Listers thank you.
