Snipping and being a good neighbor

Hi, fellow GL Listees:

Over the past few days there has been a growing sloppiness in our
postings to the List.

I am talking about "replying" to posts that have "replied" to prior
posts that have "replied" to even more prior posts -- all without
"snipping" out the parts that don't support the current post any more.

Please, please...save me a lot of work and "snip" your posts free of
anything that isn't needed to support your message.  We have all seen
the prior non-essential posts, and some of us are still on limited
data networks or slow internet access.  The limit, in bytes, for a
post on the GL List is 10KB.  If you quote a couple of prior
messages, you run over it.

Do us all a favor..."SNIP!"

Many thanks!
