Hey gang--
Can we please forego quoting the full text of messages we're responding to directly?
It's a drag to look at, is a space hog, and is completely unnecessary.
If you need to pull a quote from a place up the thread, or want to reply to a single point of the post above yours, go nuts. But quoting the full text of the message directly above yours is silly.
The Wrath O' God,
Deirdre

Yeah, and brevity is your friend.
(Can I reply to a 'sticky'?)

Of course you'd say that about brevity, Diane...why would we want to use more words when we can use our hands instead?!
Ciao...

People reply so quickly that by the time you are responding to the original post, 3 people have gotten their say in before you!
(I'm not disagreeing - of course - and I would NEVER do such a thing - just sayin's all...)

That's what editing is for.

I wish you'd correct mine, too.
(So, Deeb-- are you saying that you don't want us to use the quoting feature the way I just did above? Just want to make sure... 'coz I was under the impression it was good message board etiquette to do so in moderation-- excising pertinent copy from large paragraphs, etc.)

Want to know what's a scream? I posted my "sigh" before you amended your post to include this:
