Re: [LM_NET] editing lengthy messages

[Barbara Paciotti <barupa@SWBELL.NET>]

Friends,
I'd also like to promote careful editing of responses to LM_NET messages
because, rather than a click on reply and typing one's thoughts as
quickly as possible, such editing does take the time and attention to
ponder what one is about to post.

We are very busy people and need to get through email rather quickly,
but so many times I've seen discussions get very heated because we
didn't read carefully enough, we didn't think long enough about what we
read, and then we didn't take time to think even more about what we
posted.  Sometimes we only need to refer to the subject, not copy the
entire message.

Editing allows us to be courteous in both length and content.
