bu tit is a discussion which never, ever ends here, and is of only
limited relation to the ideas of extropianism, I feel.

Most guides suggest reading the list for a few weeks before hopping in.
I used to know someone who never, ever quoted, as she felt it was rude

I get a *lot* of mail every day, and I'll wager at least a third of it
is unnecessary quoting.
