Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Trim Your Tails

[Wayne Tyson (landrest]

CoHo:

May I suggest that there are pros and cons to trimming and not trimming 
"tails?" I, for one, prefer that the "tails" in a particular thread of 
interrelated posts be retained. This permits one to understand the current 
post in context without having to search for the post(s) (which may have 
been deleted) to which the current one refers?

WT

PS: To illustrate my point, I am trimming the tail here. Would y'all kindly 
explain just what is so disturbing about having related messages, and 
certainly the one which prompted the current post, attached? Context, it 
seems to me, is important. Kindly correct me on the merits of the issue.
