You can "Make a suggestion" or "Report a technical problem" he

I wonder whether complaining about the lack of quoting will make
a difference. I hope so - I've "made a suggestion" - will you?

All these context-free Google posts are ipssing me off a treat.

I see there is a voting option for
"Default quoting of previous message in replies"

So they know it is an issue FFS!!

I agree - I suspect it saves them storage space.... my suggestion is to add
2/3K of text to each un-contextualised GG post

Ii's a Usenet-wide problem. I certainly have better things to do than
plough through context-less posts and try to find out what they mean,
hence trying to do something about it, rather than doing eff-all. If
you also have better things to do, you might complain too, it only
takes a moment.

Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst*
method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

I suspect it's some sort of control thing - making reading/posting from
GGroups "easier" than using "third-party" stuff, cf. Microsoft products.

Yes, I voted for 'default quoting' some time back, however I got so
ipssed off a few days back after a ream of non quoters on different
groups I just killfile all the Google posts now, which is maybe a little
harsh on those with a clue, but it puts reading news back the pleasant
(?) state it was before Google became popular.

Maybe if everyone has adds sig requesting Google do default quoting
they'll get the message.

Due to the very painful lack of quoting Google promotes, all Usenet
posts originating from Google users are now deleted unseen, this means
if you post from Google I won't see it. N.B. the preceding sig is
copyright free, feel free to copy it. == bof at bof dot me dot uk ==
