The list works when a quote is limited to the question or assertion
which the post replies to. The list does not work when copy already
circulated to everyone is included in the quote. There is then no
quick and easy way to tell what point the post addresses.
Other lists display posts which quote the entire list content. This
way a list becomes hard to navigate for information and hence also
unusable. The problem with web lists is that every poster is her own
editor. Web lists are based on the concept of mutual help, and the
best way to ask for help and to offer help to others is to avoid
redundancy in posts.
Please let's help each other keep this list an easy read.
