[Tweeters] Please decode your acronyms

[Mike Wagenbach via Tweeters]

I should point out that in my original post asking about SEOW, I used the
code in the subject line but spelled out Short-Eared Owl the first time I
used it in my message body, so I don't feel too guilty.  Not helpful for
someone coming into the thread at a later point, though.

The other request Alice made was to not include replies in your posts.
While I support including one level of reply for continuity (makes it clear
to whom you are replying to in a busy thread), we are starting to see the
agglomeration of multiple replies in this thread, which is unnecessary.
Trimming the message body to include only as much of the quoted reply as
needed for clarity is polite and helpful when one gets the messages as a
digest and doesn't need to scroll too far to get to the next message.

And of course, replying by quoting the entire digest is a HUGE mistake, so
please be aware of that if you read Tweeters as a digest.
