[PCW] Snip those quotes!

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

All hands--

This exchange of email with a Listee reminds me to ask all of your to 
refrain from excessive quoting of earlier messages.

A good rules of thumb: The quoted material should not be longer than 
the new message.

Please do not automatically and unnecessarily quite the entire 
preceding message. Quote only a sentence or two--only what is needed 
for continuity and comprehension. Often, no quoting is needed.

Thank you!
