[Coco] FOR REAL! Program listings on the list (now)Color Computer subjects not acceptable on the Color Computer List Group

[t.fadden at cox.net]

Well, to keep the post size down,

First only put the code in the first post.  on replys, delete all but the minamal sample needed to get the point accross.  and dont keep letting the replys get bigger and bigger.  

Any body interested can start with the first post, and follow the thread.  to see the progression. 

STOP THE BLOAT!  After a thread has been on for a while it just gets bigger and bigger full of repeated stuff to weed out to get to the latest thought.

In other words, clean up the reply's and keep them short!  The big messages come from all the C@$@p left in the reply's.

My opinion only, and I do not speak for the list, or anybody else on the list. :-)

I've seen listings posted in the past, and never saw anything
discouraging them at the time (and some of those threads grew pretty
large from participation). I don't think anyone would be upset by a
CoCo code listing, certainly. I think there are merits to posting code
elsewhere and linking to it (no worry if it fits within 40K or if
there's a problem with formatting), but this isn't real-time
conversation like IRC, so I don't think "keeping the conversation
going" is one of them ;)
