Hi guys and girls,
It would be appreciated by many if you could strip quotes in your replies. Having to wade through a fully quoted mail to find a one or two line reply followed by one or more quoted footers is just a waste of time, bandwidth, disk space and cpu cycles.
This might not be a problem if only one or two of the posters here would be lazy with regard to stripping replies, but there's quite a few of those here and if you receive hundreds of mails a day it all adds up. Also these mails end up in the mail boxes of probably thousands of readers.
Please keep your quotes concise and to the point. If you have a one line reply chances are the quote you are replying to isn't much longer. Help us keep the signal to noise ratio up.
Thank you very much!
Regards, Leonard.
