Hi.
I appreciate your posts, and find them valuable.
This suggestion refers only to single topic replies.
Those of us who read e-mail with speech want to get to the new information,
with as little time as possible waisted listening to quotes which we have
already heard several times.
A fall back strategy is to dump the speech buffer, go to the end of the post,
and search back for the last > and listen from there.
When some people are so eager to include everything, that they put their
new comments between the quoted stuff and the quoted tag lines and footers,
even this last resort is defeated.
I am not against all quoting,
but it is often much too long or mostly superfluous.
This is not a personal attack, but a constructive suggestion toward making
the list easier reading and more helpful to all.
Thanks much for your consideration.
If you quote me, please put your comments first.
I have already listened to my questions.
Thanks.
