I like to have the earlier message with the response. Sometimes several days go by and if just the response is given, I may not know exactly what it's answering if I can't re-read the first posting. When someone answers a really old email, then I'm totally lost if the original posting is not included. Please let's keep doing this to help us older researchers....

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Steve Stevens Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 8:45 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [VA-ROOTS] Proper Etiquette Well I for one disagree. I delete all read messages and if someone responds to an inquiry, I may have forgotten what it was to begin with. If I scroll down I can read what the previous person said and the response. I think using cluttering your mailbox is a poor excuse for an email that barely takes up 1K of memory in the Tetra-bite world. Just checking in with my opinion.
