It is okay to quote a whole post if that helps you
understand (as you see I just did here); but I was objecting
to several people here quoting an ENTIRE THREAD. Before
getting to this post of yours, I just scrolled down through
what amounted to pages and pages of the previous post on
this topic.

And even for those who are not set to digest (which I am to
keep my mumber of daily emails manageable), there are those
with limited bandwidth who have a lot of trouble downloading
long emails -- so it is inconsiderate to send them an entire
thread which they have already read. Especially when the
thread is many paragraphs long, and the reply only a couple
of lines.
