Is an indicator like above the preferred way on this list to show a part of the message has been trimmed?
i've seen people use it on other lists and conversations, it's not very common. i am ambivalent (no preference).
I am asking because I usually trim messages when replying but did not insert such markers in square brackets.
the only reason i did it here was to demonstrate and highlight the practice *of* being courteous to other people by trimming unnecessary context.
that's what this is really all about: ron sadly demonstrated a complete disregard for other people by indicating that his own personal preferences for composing and replying are more important... even when told (repeatedly) that putting other people to inconvenience is not acceptable.
