[or-roots] excessive text

[Leslie Chapman]

I know some folks are of the opinion that most of what some of us put out
there is excessive, but I think Dan specifically was trying to point out
that you should take a minute to remove those parts of the email you have
hit "reply" to that aren't relevant to what you are talking about; if you
are using the reply button in order to address a subject that has nothing to
day with the email you are replying too just select the whole letter and hit
delete, if you are in windows hit the ctrl key and A and it is all selected.

Every email that goes out of my puter gets a nice useless paragraph at the
bottom about how Norton is protecting the recipient from viruses by checking
my outgoing mail, sometimes in the course of an exchange I will forget that
and if my recipient does the same thing the first thing I know I have two
pages of virus notices at the bottom of the letter.

If I was lazy enough to just hit "print" to get hard copy (yes I do deal
with hard copy once in a while!!!) I would be a little irked at printing two
pages of advertisements for Norton.

I know some folks here feel that the fifteen to thirty seconds it takes to
cut and paste a succinct excerpt from a previous post in order to reply to
it is too much wasted time, but for the rest of us we need to keep on top of
these things a little better.
