Listserver etiquette

[Kenton Bird <kbird@uidaho.edu>]

Visionaries:
A plea from this reader to all frequent writers to follow this guideline
in replying to messages:

"Include only the minimum you need from the original message. One of the
most annoying things you can encounter in e-mail is to have your
original 5-page message quoted back at you in its entirety, with the
words "Me too" added at the bottom. Quote back only the smallest amount
you need to make your context clear."

For those of us who subscribe to the digested form of Vision 2020, it is
particularly annoying to scroll through screens full of quoted
back-and-forth exchange to get to the next new message.

Please be considerate of your readers by *not* quoting the entire
message in your replies.

Thank you!
Kenton
