Re: Pet Peeve

I agree with this one. I often read replies and after missing the original
post I am not sure what started the discussion, what the request was or what
in the world they are talking about. If there is a link or a suggestion then
people have to ask to have it repeated and that usually generated more than
one response repeating the information. I like it when the person has just
the original at least the reply they are talking to. I truly think this is
an individual preference. I have my e-mail sent to include the original in a
reply because that is what I like. I do not think this is the same for
everyone.
