This is beginning to turn even more unpleasant than the original breach of<br>
netiquette which prompted the discussion -- like one of those fights which<br>
starts with a raised voice, escalates to fisticuffs and then weapons, and by<br>
the time innocent bystanders are getting injured nobody can even remember the<br>
original point being argued.<br>
<br>
Please, let's all just move on -- and remember to (1) remove extraneous<br>
quoted material, because it saves bandwidth; (2) post *below* the points to<br>
which we are replying, because that is the natural flow of a conversation;<br>
and (3) acknowledge when issues are resolved with at least a quick "Thank<br>
you, this worked for me" -- both to show that no more need be said, and to<br>
indicate to future readers of the archives that a working solution was found.<br>
<br>
Call me an old romantic if you like, but I firmly believe that we owe it to<br>
future generations coming to read our posts in the mailing list archives, for<br>
them to find the archives as helpful as we found the posts we once had to<br>
read in the mailing list archives to get to the position of posting our own<br>
answers.<br>
