Re: [tdf-moderators] Mailing list behavior

Hi :)
Anne, what the bottom posters want is to make it awkward for people.  They don't want you to just 
reply to the message.  You have to edit out the bits that in your opinion are not relevant anymore 
so that their message becomes  your interpretation of what they might have been trying to say.  
Then you answer the message you think they wanted ignoring anything they might have actually said.  
It means that there is no way to show context without going back to an earlier copy of the posting. 
 

Notice that the Netiquette guide is from several decades ago, it's pre-hand-helds, pre-tablets, 
even pre-mobile-phones.  It's deeply routed in ancient technology and old ways of doing things from 
an era that has long since gone.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
