Re: alfa-digest V8 #127 - Curmudgeon

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       Putting on my curmudgeon hat.  I do not know why people continue to 
post to the Digest ads for things for sale or things they want with no 
indication of where in the world said item can be found.  An Alfa GTV in the 
middle of the USA would be of more interest to me than one still in Italy.
       While I have my cranky hat on, I also wonder why people insist on 
copying vast quantities of the text they are responding to.  Why not just 
copy a bit to the text to give a hint at the original message.  I have 
noticed several Digests filled almost completely with a copy of previous 
messages.  Include an indication that you have removed some text if you must.
       And finally, make sure you tell us up front what Alfa you are asking 
technical questions about.  I hate going to the bottom of someone's letter 
only to find five different Alfa models listed, or worse yet, no Alfa model 
listed.
       Hat off, I am back to being not nearly so opinionated, in my not at 
all humble opinion...
