Don't be sorry.
Many reflectors add a note to all digest posts telling the poster to use
a meaningful subject and not post the digest.
Here, the filters at the ISP remove most "digest posts", but if a digest
post makes it past the filters it just gets flushed without reading.
Lack of trimming seems to be endemic. It's nice to have enough to know
where the post falls in the thread and what part is being addressed.
Clipping everything is often as bad as leaving everything<:-))
