ADMIN: Snipping Rules

[Catherine Coleman]

Greetings from Hexquarters!

There has been a marked increase recently of posts which have not been 
following our snipping rules adequately:

So, please remember that when you are replying to a post, snip out any 
irrelevant and surplus text from the original.  You need only leave (or 
even state) something which will give other readers an idea of the 
points to which you are responding.  Remember also to clearly cite the 
person who wrote the original post, and ensure that your comments are 
sufficiently separate from the quoted material, so everyone can easily 
tell who is saying what.

It is very important that these conventions are followed.  I'm sure that 
you can all appreciate that this list is very high volume - something we 
expect only to increase in the build up to the release date of the Order 
of the Phoenix.   Snipping properly helps to reduce bandwidth, keeps 
Daily Digest readers happy as it reduces the amount of scrolling through 
extraneous material, and ultimately, makes the list much more 
pleasurable for everyone to read.

Howlers will be arriving in the mail boxes of anyone who persists in not 
following these rules.  Furthermore, repeat offenders will find 
themselves back on moderated status for a time.

You have been warned!
