But I've ridden in all of them, always unarmed. I've ridden in most

p.s. nice snip.

Andrew, you've certainly been here long enough to understand the ancient
Usenet recommendation to trim content except what one's responding to.

I notice that practice has faded. We have posts that roll on for screen
after screen after screen, six or seven responses deep. But trimming is
still a good idea. As always, a person can scroll upward to see what was
posted. Usenet doesn't forget.

Snipping works well for people who don't have the backbone to reply to
all that the original poster said.

No it is good practice, makes posts more readable, I don’t trim enough
mainly by time it’s some monster thread when no one’s trimmed it’s
difficult to make a start frankly!

 
I'd argue that it's not a good practice when it's done specifically
not to have to reply to, or to take out of context, something in the
original post,

This is a discussion group, Frank.

:-)  Hey! After I've posted "this is a discussion group" dozens of
times, our tricycle rider has finally memorized it!

I've proven my teaching skills by getting even him to learn something!
:-)

But hey, as long as you sit at the table, the game is still on.

Troll on.
