[Stargate] From the moderator: please trim your posts

Folks,

This is just a friendly reminder from your moderator to please be  
courteous to those who read this list -- especially those who get the  
list in digest form.

Without picking on anyone in particular, the practice of quoting --  
and quoting -- and quoting -- while adding a possibly very short  
reply has gotten out of hand.

If you quote a message in your reply, please only quote the relevant  
bits that your reply addresses. Please delete everything else. It's  
just a couple of clicks of the mouse for you, but thousands of  
unnecessary words for everyone else.

If you find that you're adding a very short message that boils down  
to "Me too!", you might even ask yourself whether you need to send  
the message at all. Or at the very least, whether you really need to  
be sending it to the whole list or if your purpose would be served by  
sending your reply to just one person.

Kind regards,
Michael Silverhands
