Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
Shal, I was 99% sure of this before, but I have now explicitly tested it in my test group: contents within top-post generated ellipses are excluded from search results. J

Actually, once provided: * If the tool is not robust, and the consensus is that it is wanted, it must be made robust. * If the tool is not robust, and the consensus is that it is not necessary and

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
Brian, I couldn't agree with you more about learning and adhering to group culture in whatever situation you're in. But the group culture HERE is that the system puts prior posts into trailing

Re: Splitting thread problem?
You're quite welcome. I am actually hoping that Mark does eventually make it such that you can mark a single post or contiguous series of posts embedded within a thread for excision where the part of

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
And, J, who else but the composer should be held responsible for their composition? He's (and I'm) holding them responsible while you're handing them a workaround that shouldn't be needed in the first

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
Louise, Are you using plain-text email? If so, this result (the fact that all the trailing posts are included on the site) support my theory that the top-posting algorithm fails with plain-text email.

LeeAnne, Glad you got it straightened out. Here is the thread in beta about partial splitting that Brian was referring to: /g/beta/message/12216 (

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
I am deliberately not going to use that method now to see /show how all of the quoted text from the various authors now returns to everyone. Although I was able to distinguish Shal's words from mine

Re: Splitting thread problem?
Hi J, That is what I did - now I did try it again in a different group and it worked fine so maybe I made a mistake the first time. ? Just to be clear, Post A was the calendar notice. ?Post B was

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
Xaun, Ok, that was a fail. I was able to edit it after posting to put the line breaks back. I'll leave it to you whether you want to continue your message where I cut it, or delete the whole thing and

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
[ mod note: lets see if I can edit this without collapsing it into a single mashed-together paragraph. Xuan, you may want to delete and re-post this if it gets smashed into illegibility. ]
Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
J, I think this assertion may need some testing. I don't know that the text hidden under the ellipses button is actually excluded from search (and would be a little surprised if it is). The Groups.io

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
Brian, That's a fine contention, but for most groups it probably isn't actionable. That is, the group managers wouldn't likely consider banning the use of mobile device email interfaces to interact

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
Brian, I think we're agreed on this. I just find it far easier to accomplish in a plain text compose window. That may in part be due to my choice of email interface (Thunderbird). Meh. It is rare that

Re: Asking members to trim trailing quotes, versus automation
I have to 100% disagree with you. Since the algorithm exists and people have gotten used to its existence, and it takes care of the trailing posts for users, I think it's ludicrous to ask them to trim
