In all those years: have you never trimmed your posts? you've been told
a couple of times by now from different people. Please: TRIM YOUR POSTS!

Listen up short round. I'll trim my posts as I see fit. Use a killfile
if you don't like seeing them, or post these endless netcop responses as
you wish.
For your information, if I leave a post untrimmed it's because I want it
untrimmed. If I trim it, it's my decision to do that and not yours or
the other netcop who hangs around here, so get lost or stay as you wish.

Ah well - and I thought that you're a grown-up. Sorry to see that it is
otherwise [1]. You add(ed) much to this group (and besides your almost
_never_ trimming I mostly enjoyed your postings), seems that I have to
life without your postings.

bye.

You haven't "enjoyed" anything junior. You've never once engaged me in
anything useful aviation wise. Anything useful you've gleaned from my
posting on aviation you have gotten lurking me, not in useful dialog.
All you seem capable of doing is posting this endless net cop crap that
nobody in their right mind would take in a positive manner.
"I've told you before....TRIM YOUR POSTS!" Give me a break. If anyone
here needs some growing up, it's people like you.
Lurk or leave as you wish. Since you have not engaged me aviation wise,
it would appear that neither of us would be losing anything.
To parrot your own sophomoric remark..... "bye" :-)

I don't know if you're referring to me...but I'm not a netcop; I'm just
someone who thinks that following Usenet etiquette as it's been for the past
couple of decades is a really good idea. Bottom-posting without trimming
wastes bandwidth and makes it difficult to read one's words, as well as
providing ammunition to top-posters.

I think you've got a lot to contribute to the group, but when I see a
180-line posting with halfway down the first
screen, I just hit n.

Let me ask you this: Why *don't* you trim? What are you trying to
accomplish?

I am in total agreement with you on this, and trimming is indeed the
correct way to go. The simple answer to why I don't trim as much as I
should is that I simply forget to do it. A reminder such as you have
posted here will always be accepted by me as something to act on.
Thanks for taking the time to remind me without acting like a two year
old with a tantrum going on about editing posts.
I'll make an effort to remember to trim my responses. If I screw up
again, just remind me. I'm not as sharp remembering to do this as I
should be.

Okkay, I'll accept that. Thanks.

I will make the observation that your untrimmed posts often offer more
aviation content than many others who do trim.

No one is obligated to read postings: each of us decides if it's a net
loss or gain. You have not diminished the utility of the newsgroup,
but others surely have. "Boys will be boys" is hardly an excuse for
second grade behavior, especially in a group where superior judgment
should be the standard.

Most of what posters trim is backquoting of others; so you're saying that the
main aviation content is in the backquotes, which isn't terribly flattering.

What an astute reader would have inferred is that I think Dudley's
contribution to the aviation content of this group is high, even if he
chooses, or forgets, to trim his posts to meet some standards others
wish to impose.

Some may disagree.

The general rule is that the authors' of follow up articles should
attempt to include equal or more new text than that which they have
quoted from a previous article.

Also, top-posting is a sign of nubieism, as it breaks the
chronological flow of thought. The two rules go hand-in-hand for
obvious reasons.
