Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: A posting style request? Maybe trim off multiple copies of reply

Hi Rich,

Hi Mike,

 

I'm with Mike on this, one when he says "No, the simple (and sane) solution,
is that every one trims their posts before sending."

 

I'd just modify that to "if everyone would at least TRY to remember to trim their posts most of the time"

and "if, not, at least put extra spaces way down at the bottom to separate your post from the next one that'll be in the digest."

 

True it's a personal preference issue. And really it was just a long shot hope of mine,

and it does take some conscious attention to do this.

But I did figure pilots are, because they are pilots, really above average in their capability to pay attention to detail

 

Obviously, me and Mike and a few others are in the minority opinion on this as far as I can see folks are still posting with

replies-to-replies-to-replies-to-replies-to-replies hanging below their replies. <sigh>

My mom used to say "it never hurts to ask."  Not sure that's true  . 

 

 

But, Rich, the count of emails increasing if us "digest" members switch to "individual emails"

really  _is_ an issue. If it wasn't I wouldn't have set my membership to "digest" in the first place.

That's what digests are for ... for us folks who  ( a ) are already swamped in incoming mail,

and ( b) makes it easier to find all related posts in our inboxes.

 

  There's also the issue (if folks keep posting their replies along with previous replies-to-replies-to-replies-to-replies without "trimming")

of yahoogroups eventually exceeding our group's storage limit because of duplicate, triplicate, etc., posts in effectively in the archives.

 

Regards,

Alex
