I don=92t know how many of you out there receive Clayart in the digest
form, and it=92s quite possible that the person that posted the message
I=92m referring to didn=92t even realize that they=92d done this=85 but =
if any
of you saw the message recently with the following at the top=85

ABOUT
ANNOYING!!!

For those that don=92t read Clayart (or have never tried it) in =
=93digest
form=94=85 you can=92t just =93use the delete key=94 for individual =
messages when
reading the Clayart digest=85 you simply have to scroll through the =
entire
day=92s posts in one continuous email. In digest form=85 we don=92t have =
that
luxury of simply deleting one or two posts (or more). When someone does
what =93baltimorepotters=94 just did=85 it=92s annoying as hell!
=20
Even if this was an isolated incident=85 I=92ve noticed since becoming a
digest user for the last year or so=85 that more and more people are
getting lazy about not trimming down their posts on Clayart. Vince has
brought this up several times, and I know he and I aren=92t the only
readers that it annoys.
=20
PLEASE people=85 when responding or replying to someone else=92s post or
continuing a thread, PLEASE cut and paste ONLY THE APPROPRIATE TEXT from
the original posters message (or whomever you=92re responding to) that
needs to be stated to get your point across=85 YOU DON=92T NEED TO =
REPOST
THE ENTIRE MESSAGE 99.9% of the time to get your point across. It=92s
annoying to have to scroll through so much that you=92ve already seen,
especially when your response doesn=92t need the support of the original
post. It=92s also HOGGING bandwidth and in my opinion is inconsiderate =
of
others and shows laziness on the part of the poster. There=85 =91nuff =
said.

Thanks for putting up with my rant. I=92ll go crawl back into my dark
corner now.

Best wishes,

depressed
about (a) my favorite NFL team, the SD Chargers, coming so close to
knocking the Patriots off their high-horse in their undefeated season,
but ultimately failing in the red-zone =85and (b) not being able to =
attend
NCECA this year in Pittsburgh due to impending gall bladder surgery that
is needed (first time in 7 years I=92ll have missed going). I=92ll miss
seeing you all in the Clayart room=85 hope somebody puts something up on
YouTube=85 that=92d be so cool!=94
