CentOS - Jan 2011 - Quoting practice

Hi guys and girls,

It would be appreciated by many if you could strip quotes in your
replies. Having to wade through a fully quoted mail to find a one or two
line reply followed by one or more quoted footers is just a waste of
time, bandwidth, disk space and cpu cycles.

This might not be a problem if only one or two of the posters here would
be lazy with regard to stripping replies, but there's quite a few of
those here and if you receive hundreds of mails a day it all adds up.
Also these mails end up in the mail boxes of probably thousands of
readers.

Please keep your quotes concise and to the point. If you have a one line
reply chances are the quote you are replying to isn't much longer. Help
us keep the signal to noise ratio up.

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Leonard.

Heh. I don't complain that much here... but over on the selinux list, they
do that all the time, including folks who shall remain nameless and should
know better (having written some of the man pages and documentation
and....)
