[Flafurs] Unnecessary list traffic

[Scott Garron]

      There are already 16 messages today that are complete FLUFF, 
what's ONE MORE?  Oh hi guys!  This is your friendly, neighborhood, 
long-time Internet user reminding you of your implied etiquette 
diligence duties.

      If you're going to post messages to any mailing list, whether they 
add useful or non-useful content to the list, at the very LEAST trim 
your quoted material.  Don't send the *entire* contents of previous 
messages already seen by everyone.  Select the signature and list 
information portions with your mouse and press your keyboard's backspace 
key.  Things like "Florida Fur Mail List" and "For Subscription Options, 
Visit:" are appended to EVERY message.  Sending that stuff back to the 
list is useless.  The list wants your *new* content - content coming 
from your keyboard, not stuff we've already seen.

      For more information about properly formatting replies, please 
visit, read, and take great heed in the content provided by the 
following web sites:
