Re: [ATM] Replying to digest messages

[Guy Brandenburg <gfbrandenburg@yahoo.com>]

Bob, concerning replies to posts: your replies are
generally very useful but would be much better if you
would include a short segment of the text that you are
specifically replying to. Often times, 5 to 10 people
have made comments on a particular thread, and then
you will respond, but pretty much >>you<< are the only
one who can figure out which particular comment in
which particular post you are referring to. This would
be quite helpful to others whom you are trying to
assist. It is not hard to set your email so that you
automatically will have the entire text below your
response (as I do here) and then you can delete what
you don't want to respond to.

This is my second request to you to do this.
