Etiquette, from Lord of the Lurkers

Just a friendly reminder, from long time contributor, now full time lurker (well, until the rush is over, sometime around 2020!!!!!)

A comprehensive FAQ for alt.food.wine is available at

For any newbies / would-be posters, I recommend taking a quick look-see.

Over the past weeks/months, I have seen an increasing retro-trend towards including the full text of a post with a very short reply.

You know the sort of thing - A Poster writes a comprehensive, 500 word report entitled "The Non-Availability of French Wines in Columbus, Ohio" (grin!), and B Poster includes the whole post, while adding "I agree!"

For the sake of us s-l-o-w r-e-a-d-e-r-s please, please! please!!! [snip] to a short, relevant excerpt!

Regards to all

Moi aussi (translation: I am an Australian). More importantly, what is being done to address the crisis regarding non-availability of French wines in Columbus Ohio? Cheers! Martin

You are right - I agree!! :-} Also, thanks for posting the FAQ URL for those, who do not have it, or have it handy. I have it bookmarked on IE on office machines, but not the laptop, at least, not until now.

Actually we have no problem finding French wine in Columbus thanks to folks like UC.

I stand corrected. It's somehow different down here. Cheers! Martin

But they are still inferior to Italian wines, so who cares?
