[Please don't top-post. Instead, remove quoted material that you're

Hey guys,

Trimming [1], ie. cutting of unneeded content in replies is also
generally prefered.

As is inline replying [2].

Use common sense to make it as simple as possible to others to read your
post. Most people on this list have the thread present (either in their
mail program or via the web) and therefore it is _not_ wanted to resend
the whole conversation over and over again (as is common practise in
some commercial environments).

possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
