Re: [epilepsy] may i suggest an idea about "trimming posts" ?

 

I am sorry for responding to this post. If I had noted it had come from Jason I would not have taken it so seriously.

 I thank you for making a judgement on my reality as I experience it. You make my reality sound like an epileptic siezure. Nobody understands it but me.

Oh come now, this isn't political oppression here. Your questions are easy
to answer:

1. Whoever writes the post
2. Whoever reads it

Just remember when you decide, that the parts that you don't cut and didn't
add, we've all seen before. And when you have to scroll down past several
screens of machine-generated crud just to figure out what the next person
said, the conversation is difficult to follow. At the very least you should
delete the boilerplate added by computers.

Anything below my signature (or the signature of the person I'm directly
responding to) I usually delete, unless I need something someone said
earlier for context. In that case I transplant what they said to near the
top (or in the middle if more appropriate) , and I can delete all the
repetitive boilerplate that got appened by mail servers and from yahoo
interspersed with previously read messages like one line "me toos".
