Folks, I just want to ask a favour of you all. I know that this issue is
discussed from time to time and I'd like to do it again: PLEASE FOR THE
LOVE OF GOD SNIP ALL THE UNNECESSARY SHIT FROM THE MESSAGE WHEN YOU REPLY TO
A POST!

Thank you, that is all.


Fearsome.

Second that. I often read the news on my palmsized handheld when I am on
the road. It´s a real pain to scroll down nearly 100 lines to find a
short answer quote. Thx in advance!

Nice day to all,

Done and done. ;)

PS I'm just joking. I hate it when people don't snip unnecessary stuff
either.

You´re using NewsXpress, right?! I don´t have a glue, but sometimes there
is a feature like _cut off sig._ or so. Check your configuration
prefs...

When a sig is identified using "--" before it some news readers will
automatically strip it from the reply. Then you have some newbies who put
those characters between a title and the body of their post and the whole
thing vanishes. LOL
