volume editing, please

Perhaps I'm the only one having trouble wading through the digests
lately; if so, I'll STFU. But it sure seems that some of the posts
are getting unwieldy, due to lack of editing. Replies which include
the entire original post, and previous replies, etc., etc., etc. are
making the daily digests seem like "War and Peace".

I have no issue with lengthy messages, and it's certainly
appropriate to include the specific portions when formulating a
reply. But usually that's not the entire text of the original
post. Frankly, once I start high-speed scrolling past the re-runs,
I fear I may be missing some of the good stuff!

Lack of editing is a pet peeve of mine, and is covered in the vpFREE
Posting Guidelines which are posted monthly:

"4. When replying to messages, quote just enough of the previous
post to maintain continuity. Clip the rest of the previous post."

At some point in time I plan to implement some proactive measures
to encourage message editing.

Maybe one of the computer-savy folk's can help me. My yahoo account won't let me trim the messages. What am I doing wrong?
