"Pearl Harbor" still sucks...

AJ, you clip too much, the old rules about message size
applied when servers had 20 mb drives and a mb of
ram...don't cut all previous, snip a little, nobody know
which "one" you're talking about.

And you don't clip enough (or any, as near as I can tell).

Takes all kinds...

Maybe we can both improve, but at least unclipped can be
read in one place and bandwidth isn't a problem.

I had no trouble at all going back to the previous message to which AJ
replied. So that "isn't a problem" either.

In either case, the trangressor can *claim* there's "no problem". In
reality, neither is a very polite way to use the newsgroup. When you fail
to trim a few lines, it's simply annoying. When you fail to trim an entire
100 line post just to add a couple of sentences of your own, you are wasting
bandwidth in a 50-to-1 ratio.

Just because we aren't all on dial-up anymore, that doesn't mean that a)
*everyone* isn't on dial-up, and b) that we don't all pay for bandwidth some
way somewhere. There are a number of issues related to the wasteful
excessive quoting that occurs, including (but not limited to) end-user time
and cost, and lifetime of a post on a news server.

Suffice to say, it's pretty ironic for you of all people to take AJ to task
for his posting habits. There's an old saying about a log and a splinter
that seems appropriate here.

I was just emulating the other poster, who snips
everything.

I had to go to Google for that one, Pete. I was drawing a blank. Busted!

"In Matthew 7:3 we read “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s
eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” Esu Immanuel used
real life examples to make his point. Here he is using the example of
having a piece of dirt or a speck of sawdust getting into your eye, making
it impossible for you to physically see clearly. A splinter or a sliver or
a log all refer to wood and are far larger than a speck of sawdust. If a
speck of sawdust obstructs your vision, how much more would a sliver or a
log.

In other words Esu is saying, how foolish it is to try and see the speck of
sawdust in your brother’s eye, when you have a log of wood in your own eye.
You most certainly would not be able to see accurately. Now, we must
translate this analogy into our understanding of Esu Immanuel’s teaching
concerning judging others.

To judge others truly, wisely and accurately we must understand the Laws of
God and Creation ourselves and live by them."
