Quotes & Peer reviews

Sorry Maarten, but I disagree with this. Messages with
enormous bulks of quoted text usually contain so much
rubbish, that some of them become barely readable.
They cause the Conlang Digest to grow to absolutely
unnecessary proportions. And if you do a search in the
archives, you usually have to dig your way through a
lot of such messages first.
My counterproposal would be rather the opposite: only
quote the part of text to which to actually reply to.

Good idea.

Very good idea. This fits perfectly with my idea of
making a text as readable as it could be, and it helps
a potential replier to actually reply in a
constructive way.

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought,
wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that
happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great
comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." --- J.
