  Be nice to see more context and less "[Moderator's Note: . .. have been
removed. Please edit quoted ...]"  Frankly, the latter gets rather old.





    Well, I'm going to make an observation on this. I have tried to post a
couple of things in which I DID edit but only the header and footer because
the post I was responding to was only a few of sentences long and I got mine
returned to me. I had no idea what was expected and it just wasn't worth a
bunch of emails for something not all that worth the effort. I figured there
was no easy way to post what I wanted to reply to and just let it go. 


    OTOH, I really hate to get posts that quote back every word, that, if I'm
interested I already read it. As I distilled the message I'm replying to, I do
wish others would make some effort to cut down on the verbiage. I like context
but I don't need regurgitation of the whole meal, even in bite-size pieces.
When I was on the digest I just couldn't deal with all the repeats and quit
reading the list until I could go back on single posts.


     We need some blance in this business.
