Message-ID: <5387@unc.UUCP> Date: Wed, 15-Jun-83 13:53:09 EDT Article-I.D.: unc.5387 Posted: Wed Jun 15 13:53:09 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 16-Jun-83 22:31:39 EDT References: rabbit.1589 Lines: 24 A reminder to those of all beliefs: When posting a reply to an article, please include enough of the original so that we can tell what it is that you are talking about. The "readnews" interface does not keep discussions together, and it is so much trouble to find predecessors that it is usually not worth the trouble. In addition, some articles never make it to some sites, and sometimes replies occur before originals. To do this, you can save the article to a temporary file, then read the article into your editor when replying. If, like me, you are using "readnews" and "vi", the sequence of commands is: s- /tmp/reply f- [vi starts] :r /tmp/reply :!rm /tmp/reply Sorry for posting this meta-flame to this group, but there have been a lot of cases of insufficient context in replies lately, and it's been seriously impairing readability.
