Do NOT Trim Posts

[Guest guest]

As Kathleen explained, we have a policy here of leaving the old information on

EACH and every email because there are 6,000 members here and there is way

too much traffic to remember the details of every thread. And none of the

moderators or longtime member contributors have the time to try to look through

old posts hoping to find the information required to understand a trimmed post.

Ain't gonna happen, which means trimmed posts don't get answered.

We frequently have new members who suggest trimming posts and we always

need to reply to the whole membership that no, we don't trim posts here. If you

trim posts, you'll be asked to re-post with the full information on it. We have

to

have the full history in every email.

We know that makes the list less easy to read for digest members, but that's the

tradeoff we choose.

Thanks for your understanding.

best wishes,
