[OFF] Mailing list etiquette: less quoting



Regarding the pratice of quoting entire messages, I would ask that people please do more editing and less quoting - respond to specific text, but not an entire document. Folks, we've seen *seven* copies of Donna's letter to the Camera already today, including some one-line and two-line responses. I don't believe this style of communication adds value, and that it just reduces the signal-to-noise ratio (and increases download times and mailbox size).

Here's one useful netiquette Web page:
