[CLUE-Tech] Re: " this is a matter of personal preference"

I know another LUG list where the "dominator" wants all the stuff 
snipped off at the bottom.  I think there is some validity in doing that 
particularly if there are miles of various responses that span several 
days.  Although this guy tends to use it as an argument against "your 
style" when he happens to actually disagree with your opinion on some 
petty issue.
