It's like saying 'please', 'thank you' and not letting doors slam in the faces of people following you. Trimming quoted material is netiquette - the manners of Usenet (and other online forums). It is the equivalent of holding open the door for the person after you in real life; politeness. Maybe one day it'll no longer be September 1993. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |

If the net nanny had made a polite request, I might have responded differently. I don't recall exactly, but it seems the comment was something like "You too, Matt." Not exactly a polite request.

You too, Matt. Snip your posts. Don't read 'em. this is asocial. your posting is ditributed to thousands of newsservers, no matter if someone reads it or not. It might seem like nitpicking, because the posting is only some k small (and bandwidth-costs have dropped; but you are very welcome to start as an ISP and see the total costs involved). But keep in mind that newsservice is mostly only running at your ISP because there is one employee loving to keep this service running. And multiple your few k of useless quoting with thousand newsservers with hundreds of people with your bad attitude. MAtt #m -- http://www.hotze.priv.at/album/aviation/caution.jpg |
