[Rabbits] Autoquoting in Replies

Hi, all;

I know I'm new and haven't contributed to the list yet, though I am a
busy Demo Rabbit and am making a couple of books for LL. Still, I gotta
ask: could folks please delete autoquoted text when you reply? I read
the Digest form of the list, and it's hard to follow when folks just
keep top-posting over and over again, so that the final posts in a
given thread are a hundred lines long but only adding one or two
sentences.

Not meaning to be a jerk or anything, and forgive me for asking if you
think it's rude. But it *is* generally considered rude to waste
bandwidth (and thus, the Looneys money) by top-posting, in a public
forum/list which has archives. Read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting



As an example, please observe today's Digest:

Info and graphics on my blog... I've got a crazy idea for putting a
volcano
board in a drawstring bag (which could then be used to hold the
pyramids)

cool idea. It's a game I have not learned yet. It sounds intertesting.
have you checked online for checker fabric?
I found some online, but didn;t check out the price.

And there were other places that had checkerboard fabric.

I suppose playing volcano on someone's corset would be interesting...
but it
would be too difficult to keep the pieces from falling off if they stack
too
high.

Besides, you can't really play on their back because of all the laces.


...The place I got the fabric is just out at the moment.... thanks
though :)

OH that would be fun... Is the corset being worn or not? It'll be like
real
uneven terrain! Maybe magnetic pyramids.... Or Lego type pyramids.
Magnetic, glow in the dark pyramids!

I should know better than to surf the web while atching David Letterman
and
reading mesage boards and being up past  bedtime and drinking hot cocoa.

I am claiming temporary insanity as to why I did not evenbother to read
the
webiste or the link I sent.

But I am liking the idea of magnetic pyramids. I like anything magnetic.

Of course it's being worn... It wouldn't nearly be as fun otherwise.
(like
the looney's christmas gift of all those years ago).

Except the human game board didn't involve stacking pieces...

PS: it's hard to claim anonymity if your name's at the top.

Remarkable, no? See how much more comprehensible and scanable the second
one is? Which would you rather read every day?

If the list manager agrees, perhaps a "No Top-Posting" policy could be
implemented in the instructions or the welcome message for the
listserv? (This is part of why I have offered to make a phpBB bulletin
board for LL: threaded discussions and the ability to turn off
autoquoting.) The *only* benefit to top-posting is if, by some change,
someone comes into the list in the middle of a discussion and is
confused and needs to see the whole thread. That's what the list
archives are for....

Thanks for your time and attention; and thank you in advance for
cleaning up your replies;
