On a different note, after coming back here to DPR recently, after a long absence, I'm struck by how few people trim quotes in their replies. I sometimes see quote streams that are 4, 5, 6, and more quotes deep, with the deepest levels being barely relevant to the most recent replies.

By the way, I'm not referring to the post I'm replying to here, but to others in the thread.

Is this a DPR tradition?

No, it’s not a tradition, but instead, simply a matter of some folks simply not taking the time to edit the post down to the point where they only leave what is directly relevant to what’s being posted. It’s quicker and easier to simply hit reply, type in a response, and hit the send button. Editing it down takes time and effort, and not everyone necessarily feels the need to do that. I suppose I might be guilty of that at times as well, but I do make an effort as much as possible to eliminate a lot of back chatter and only leave the parts of the post that are relevant to whatever response I might be making.

None of this is a hard and fast rule… it’s simply good posting practice, and something worth taking a bit of extra time to do IMHO.  Glad you pointed it out.
