[opensuse-project] [netiquette] efficient quoting of replies

Please can *everyone*[1] trim unnecessary quoted text from their replies? It's tiring to have to scroll through pages of old text just to reach a one-line reply at the bottom. Thanks in advance!

There is a useful Thunderbird add-on QuoteCollapse https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/quotecollapse/ I'm not saying that your point is invalid though. -- Adam Mizerski

Thanks for bringing this up. There is this nice wiki page [1] about mailing list netiquette. I usually use as a reference in local meetups whenever netiquette is brought up.
