[Namron] Excessive replies

[Ulf Gunnarsson]

190 messages in the last two weeks.  Don't you people watch TV or
something?

As I stated at populace meeting, I have no authority on this mailing
list (must be the green kryptonite...)  But it is polite to TRIM
messages when replying, especially the mailing list stuff that show up
at the bottom of each message.  I also consider it a good thing to trim
out the reply to the reply to the reply... except where such addition is
necessary to the argument or content of YOUR message.

One of you has (successfully) argued with me that it is necessary
sometimes to keep not just one level back but possible more of the
previous levels of replies in order for the message to be understood. 
The majority of the items in the past two weeks where this has been done
really didn't fall into that category.

Be kind.  Please trim the crap off the end of things you reply to. Leave
out unnecessary replies to replies.  And remember that this list serves
as a window from the modern world to our Society and our Barony.  A
little ki-i-i-i-dding is funny, but let's not let it get to the point
that we need an Adult Verification System to sign up for the list. 
Please?

I am also going to irritate a few people in a few minutes.  I made a
list of everyone that replied to a reply to a messages, or replies to
those, or etc... that did NOT trim the old stuff out.  Why?  Because I
used to be a herald, and we make lists of things. Twenty people did at
least a reply to a reply without trimming it up.  Ten did it at least
three times.  There were two people that had SIX layers of replies in
their message.

I am sending an email to seven people who did it at least four times in
the past two weeks.  Most are good friends of mine.  Sorry, guys, love
you but... things have gotten excessive.  Take this as advice, 'kay?
