Re: [UnschoolingDiscussion] trimming posts
[email protected]
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE trim ONLY the part of the post you are reffering to! I
am spending more time scrolling past three or four posts than I do reading
the new post.
Here's a tip; I've noticed that some people trim a few lines and then respond
(Good!) but then following their post is the entire couple of messages. I
believe one can set their computer to insert only highlighted text into a
response and not the whole email.
THanks so much!!

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you;
They're supposed to help you discover who you are.

I think by "trim" she means "quote."
Select the thing you want to respond to, mark it clearly with marks (not
indents or a different color, though you can use those too if you want), then
write your comments.
Whatever's left at the end, select and delete it.
Different mailers do different things, and if yours automatically apends the
post to which you're referring, or if you're using the website and it does
that on the "reply" box, CHOP IT OFF. Otherwise people on digest get things
over and over again, and it's too frustrating. And people who get e-mail are
getting big e-mails they've already read instead of cute little new things.
