Re: please trim your posts! (disagree)

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry but I strongly disagree. I have 2 children, work, and homeschool. I don't have as much time to read as I would like. So by the time I get to read I start at the most recent post and hope all comments are there so I don't have to read through all the posts. It takes too much time. So I appreciate when people leave the whole post. Just another take on it. :-)UC-C 12/09SCD 1/10Daily, CLO, Magnesium, bromelain, acidophilus Mom of 2 crazy monkeys :-)

everyone, please trim your posts!, it's not necessary to post the entire thread every time you make a comment or reply, and it's a huge waste of space, and everyone's time also.I enjoy reading the list and everyone's comments, recipies, and such, but as a long-time scd'er and list member I remember how it used to be when folks had enough sense to trim all the stuff that's already been posted many times. after 12 yrs of scd and 35+yrs of chron's I think I probably have a few good pointers at least, and I enjoy helping others "get it right" on scd but it's almost to the point where I will unsubscribe because of all the long threads being reposted for every comment.please trim your posts!Steve

I agree with ... If you trim down too much it is easy to loose track of who is reply to whom about what.. It is easier to glance down and have a reminder of what that line of talk was all about..

I start at the oldest post and work my way up.. It is easier for me to to follow the flow :-)

Yes, but for the people who get the digest, all the messages in one file,

it gets VERY difficult because there's no separation between posts. You

just keep seeing the histories over and over.

As usual I'm in the middle. I, too, don't have time to wade through the long

threads and sometimes get really impatient w/ the long posts. If I need the

bkgd I'd prefer to go directly to the yahoo group and check it out. Trailing

them all on (which I must admit that I sometimes inadverently do!) seems rather

inconsiderate of the rest of us. I'm endeavoring to " Reply to Post "

highlighting and cutting everything but the msg. I'm replying to. I appreciate

as much brevete as possible. 'Course, sometimes it's NOT possible.

Different strokes for different folks?
