[APWG] Quoting messages when replying to the list

[Olivia Kwong]

Thanks for the concern, but I am fine with hosting the lists, Wayne.

The reason for not quoting every single message is that it is part of good 
internet/list etiquette, also known as netiquette.  Having good netiquette 
keeps the lists friendly to not only those actively posting, but those 
actively reading.  Some list subscribers have opted for digest 
subscriptions, which means several posts are compiled into one long email 
and having fewer quoted messages makes the digest far easier to browse.

My aim is to have a place for people to have discussions about native 
plant conservation topics.  This includes making the lists friendly to 
audiences (again, I include both those that post and those that just read 
the posts), so that people find the lists useful & easy enough to remain 
subscribed.
