BEE-L guidelines specify that contributors should NOT quote previous
articles more than absolutely necessary.  The rule of thumb is this: Don't
quote any more material than you would be willing to type in by hand, and
certainly not all the previous article -- plus signatures and tag line!

One very good reason for this rule is that repeating the same content over
and over tends to clog up the archives, making archive searches frustrating
and messy.

Messages that are submitted with more than a few relevant and necessary
quotes are at risk of not being approved.  Even though a few do manage to
slip through occasionally, please do not assume the rule has been relaxed.

Please be sure to read the guidelines (see tag line URL) and follow them.

Your friendly BEE-L janitors.
