Fully agree. I am guilty of not reading archives when questioning something. In part this is due to the difficulty and accuracy of finding the material I am looking for. Search parameters do not always find the subject I am searching for. It's quite difficult in this group because of the tendency of subject to change away from the Subject Line.

I think most do this.
1. Join
2. Don't read or search archives.
3. Ask a Q
Therefore chatter doesnt matter.
I could be wrong though. But I think I'm 60% right lol

The best way here to get info is to start a new thread and ask. IMO.

Reading archives doesn't always help when there's a change in topic without starting a new thread. (Putting away my soapbox).

I can sympathize but just not empathize because of the nature of which I choose to use the email group. Ala individual emails. The yahoo spam over the course of over a decade I've learned to ignore....
It's like herding costs to get ppl to trim. Case and point. It's also like herding cats to get ppl to read the archives because this topic may easily contain volumes and volumes already discussed.
But feel free to ask. I'll try to remember. But it's definitely not a rule. It's antiquated etiquette based upon limited bandwidth of 2600 baud modems and compuserve, IMO.

It is not pleasant to read most messages on this list on an iPad. A single short, "me, too" reply also travels with a dozen earlier similar messages that have not been trimmed. If you don't want to bother trimming the whole previous thread, why not use the Reply to Group option in a Fully Featured Yahoo message and save the rest of us from the LONG threads? I feel for anyone trying to read on a digest.
