It's rude to force people to scroll through the same text they just read. Please accept my humblest apologies. Dave P
---- I might have been a bit tired when I wrote that too... Just read Carlos's post, then Andrei reposted everything (which I don't need, since I just read Carlos's post), then you reposted it too.
I was tired and trying to read the chain, but kept having to page all the way down to see what was being written. I know my opinion isn't universal, but if people need to include all the "sources" that they are responding to, it makes sense to treat it like a book or paper and put the detailed-sources in the "appendix" (at the end).
Anyone who follows a thread will already have read the earlier text (as most email readers have the ability to display a conversation in a threaded style, including everything previous is really punishing those who read the entire thread for context.
Those who "need" everything to be reposted from prior postings (who usually go off on those who put the important info first), are being rude to everyone else by not having read the earlier postings in the thread. It's like stepping into the middle of a conversation and expecting everyone to drop what they are doing and recount the prior information. Just rude, IMO.
Sorry, if I came off a bit harsh... personal stuff and tiredness .. though not a good excuse...
