[net.micro] > Repetition Considered Grody To The Max

Will you people who are submitting articles where the first
60 lines are indented repeats of the article you're replying to, 
please cut it out?  I have enough trouble weeding out the trash
without having to go thru three screens of repetition before I can
even see what you have to say!

Indented copies of the original article are good for EXCERPTS to make
it clear what you are talking about.  You can assume, however, that
we've seen the original article (barring news transmission troubles).
Just make your point and exit, stage right.

Also, if your reply concentrates on a different topic than the one
in the Subject: line, you might consider fixing the Subject:.

Thank you.
