> RFC 1855

Brief summary ...

If you are replying to a post on *ANY* digest, please don¹t just hit the
reply button on your emailer and copy *ALL* of the email you have received.

Some people follow email lists in Digest Form of 10 or 20 emails.

Filling up a digest with 12" of copied and pasted garbage other have already
read is a pain in the ass and on a par of elegancy with chewing gum with
your mouth open.

Folk receiving Digest cannot just delete your message, they have to scroll
through it to try and find where the next message starts and will curse that
all your children with have small penises. Even your daughters.

Learn how to use your emailer, you do not *HAVE* to send everything. It is a
big waste of bandwidth.

I wish this was stamped on the front of every computer sold.

John
