Everything, in moderation, is good - also quoting. Otherwise, it can be hard to
keep track of
a dialoge.
However please trim the quoted text to what is necessary. Yes, it happens 4-5
times a day that
someone replies to the digest, including all the digest in the reply.
Fortunately, such messages
go to me alone, not to the list.....
