Quite simply, I must agree with those who have English as a second language
issues as well as those who are concerned about misinterpretation. The idea
of paraphrasing just doesn't work. If I read a paraphrase post, I am then
relying on the paraphraser's interpretation and that bothers me; I want to
review what the original poster said, not rely on someone's hopefully
correct paraphrasing..
And, as far as looking through the archives...that's a nightmare, for me at
least, and I generally prefer not to delve into YahooMorts attic. :-) I
know that some people with perfectly good vision have had problems searching
the archives. Considering my distaste for online mail and further distaste
of YahooMort, I would rather read and enjoy than stress out and beat my
computer to a pulp. <BEG>
I will quote, not paraphrase; I will use attributions and sign my posts; I
will stay away from YahooMort!
Cheers,
Lee :-)
