Recycle your plastic and glass, buy cars that don't pollute the
environment, save our lakes and streams, I hardly consider getting a
few bytes more of e-mail being wasteful or lazy. I happen to like
getting the complete history of the mailing, mainly because I have
better things to do than dig through archives. No, I don't like
clutter, but I also don't like getting spam and junk mail electronic
or hardcopy, I have yet to convince anyone to stop sending it. So, in
conclusion, I'm going to get back to figuring out ADSM.

It's lazy and wasteful to include everything. I'm sure I'm not the only
one out here who stacks up eight or nine hundred messages at a time from
various lists... No I don't read them all, but I can generally pick out
threads that interest me. I just don't have the time to wallow in all the
crap that doesn't pertain to an answer. And I have enough control over my
mail reader to go back and read an entire thread without causing a cerebral
hemorrhage.
Frankly, it gets a little tiring to read through the SAME paragraph in
eight different messages an hour.
