Of course it does, but not everyone keeps threads around or has them
permanently visible once read. Quoting is useful to get an idea of what
the comment is about without having to look for the post being replied
to.
Oh, Tim had said "If it were easily customisable, I might narrow it down to 3
day's worth".
So I was wondering about it.
FWIW, my memory is still fairly good. I never recalled thing.thing posting to this list.
So, to me, it didn't make much sense to be admonishing them.
Kinda like responding to list spam. Just a waste of keystrokes. :-)
And, when will I ever follow the advice in my signature?
