As long as we are critiquing posting style, can we please leave the "Fwd:" or "Re:" out of the subject line when responding to a post? It causes email clients to ungroup the messages thus disrupting the thread. Also, please refrain from changing the subject of a message you are replying to. It also ungroups the messages in a thread. Thanks for your consideration and attention to grammar. ;] mordo ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Loren Busch <starwagen@gmail.com> Date: Sep 25, 2007 12:24 AM Subject: Doesn't Anyone Read The Messages They Respond To? To: vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com Just returning from a three week trip and catching up on the email.. I just ran into the third thread where it was obvious that people started writing an answer before reading the whole original message. Please people, read and understand the question before cluttering the list with answers that don't make any sense based on the information provided in the original message. Example: "I pumped the brakes several times but the pedal still went all the way to the floor" and the response was "Did you try pumping the brakes?" And as for watching a thread get completely off the original topic enough has been said about that in the past. Okay, off my soap box and donning Nomex.... -- mordo 1990 Carat
