overly long quotes

Maybe I should start counting how many times I post
about this, so that I can start with 'This is the ___th
time I've posted about this...'

Paul Erlich sent the long 'part 3' of his 'Gentle
Introduction to Periodicity Blocks' to TD 397. Then
the entire long posting was quoted in a response that
simply said 'could you re-send parts 1 and 2'. So
Paul re-sent those posts, of which part 2 was pretty
long itself.

Then *all* of part 2 was quoted in another response
that only said 'Wow. Thanks Paul.'.

COME ON, FOLKS !!! I didn't even receive this Digest
because it was too long for my account. OK, so of
course I should update to a better emailer. But still...
quoting like that is TOTALLY unnecessary.

Please, once again I beg of everyone, quote liberally
but *ECONOMICALLY*!!!! - and reference your quotes
with author and either Digest/Message number or date/time,
so we can look back at the original message ourselves if
we want to.
