I don't mind if the net nannies don't listen! :-)


Netiquette isn't about net nannies. It's like saying 'please', 'thank
you' and not letting doors slam in the faces of people following you.
Trimming quoted material is netiquette - the manners of Usenet (and
other online forums). It is the equivalent of holding open the door for
the person after you in real life; politeness.

Maybe one day it'll no longer be September 1993.
