See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Here are some hints to help you to make your post more attractive : 1. While doing a follow-up on a post, you may want to edit the content of the pervious post. There is no need to quote ALL of the content of ALL previous messages in a thread when creating a short reply. Doing so will force readers to scroll through about two pages of the same text quoted over and over again in subsequent replies, which often include only 1 or 2 lines of new comment. For those that have the capability, please try to quote just the passages to which you are responding, not the entire long message or thread. 2. Some newsreaders are limited to 80 columns. So, if someone types very lone lines (132 to 255 characters), readers may have to press End/Home or scroll horizontally to read each line. If your software doesn't word-wrap when you type, you could help us out by putting a carriage return before the 80th character. 3. Some people put the name of the newsgroup to which they are posting in the subject line. This could be annoying since readers cannot tell what is the content of that post. Please try to use a meaningful subject line that describes the content of your post.
