forum best practices

[Walter Bright]

When replying to message in the forum, please don't quote the entire message and 
then add a little bit to the end. News readers are quite capable of displaying 
the context to the reader. Just quote the bit you are responding to, and then 
only enough to cue the reader to just what you are responding to.

Some of these threads get quite long, and constantly quoting and thereby 
reposting it all is completely unnecessary and annoying.

Most annoying is when someone quotes a hundred lines, and just adds:

     I agree

or:

     +1

at the end. It's fine to post "I agree", just don't quote the rest of it. The 
newsreader is perfectly capable of displaying what you're replying to.
