Time for the regular tut-tutting:

Will people please take the brief time required to trim out *all* the text
they're replying to, except for the minimal number of mnemonic tags needed
to orient readers to the thread?

It's extremely annoying to find one or two lines of commentary stuck like a
turd to the tail of a sheep (sorry, I mean, of course, like a
sweet-smelling posy added to a pile of old rubbish) on several pages of
carelessly repeated text that everyone else has already read in the
original post.
