The snag is using a connection for which I pay by the minute. Thus
postings from people whose comments I may wish to read may also cost
me extra cash to re-read unsnipped copies of what I've already seen.
If your postings routinely annoyed me, then yes, I could then delete
them all and not download them. However since I find many of your
postings interesting I download them.


Don't you just download them and get offline to read them and reply to
them at your leisure???

Yes. The problem is that the more there is to download, the longer the
downloading takes, and hence the more it costs those who use this approach.
As I said, though...


The problem is a minor one provided the practice isn't widespread.
However for the above reason some of us wish to encourage snipping
when this this possible.


I've really got no argument with that - I prefer snipped posts as they
are, quite simply, much easier to read.

I also find this. Hence I'd also say that when people snip posts with care
they make it easier for others to read what they are trying to say. Hence
the poster helps themself to be clear and persuasive by snipping carefully.

Slainte,

Jim
