You believe that preserving the names of the people is excessive?
It has no special cost for you, just preserve 1 or two lines.
I wonder who is excessive here.
How many posts do you see in this ML that do the way you do?

This is a question of respect for the people that have written the mail
and the people that are reading them.
It has no special cost for you, just preserve 1 or two lines.

I'm using Thunderbird. Sometimes, I don't know why, some posts are not
attached to the thread it was a response of.
This was the case of your mail.

I don't know why I would need to look at some external pages in order to
see to what this post is a response of.

What costs to you to left these 2 lines in the post?

Vicente
