PM box too small

[Gatorboy]

I responded to a PM that included his quote. Indeed it was a lengthy quote and response and it exceeded the # of characters I was allowed to send. I had to delete much of his quote and my response to fit.

When using the quote feature, you should edit/remove most of the text and only keep the portion of it that you are replying too.

Gator, sometimes you need to quote the whole text. I know when I am trading PMs like catching up with what someone has been doing since I last talked to them it helps to have all what they said there. Especially if you are commenting on what they have said. You dont know what situation he was replying to.

Of course, sometimes, if you are replying to someone directly after they have written, or making a general comment that doesnt apply specifically to that person, it is unnecessary to use the quote feature atall You also dont need to quote connectives in a quote, see, much shorter

Also, while we are correcting people, should that have been 'to' instead of 'too' at the end of your last post

Just poking at you, no harm intended

Those would be rare occasions.
