Please don't repeat the messages

**J* L* <j*@gmail.com>**

Hi all!

It looks like folks are having a great summer!  We are here in Alaska  
AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PALIN!

Friends, once again, please do not include the entire message when you  
reply. We are having social networking stuff taught at the GWA meeting  
and this is one of the things they will teach. Do not repeat the  
entire message. It is rude in electronic terms. In fact, if you change  
the subject entry to indicate your subject matter, you don't need to  
repeat any of the message.

Look at it this way....YOU know to what you are responding. If you are  
worried the person you are writing to doesn't understand to what you  
are referring, your message isn't a communicative one and you may need  
to improve your writing skills.

You would not include the entire former message in a typed or  
handwritten letter, so why here?

Some of you need to turn off your "auto append" feature on your email.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Jeff L, the grump who uses his iPhone
