"Following" these subject messages

[Tom Christiansen]

>From the keyboard of markj.bbs at shark.cs.fau.edu (Mark Rosen):
:The prompt when you enter the "follow" command here says you should
:delete unnecessary text.  Is there an easier way to do this than
:one line at a time?  I'm tempted to not delete if it would take me
:five minutes to delete each line at a time before I even get to
:enter my reply.  Mark.

If it takes you 5 minutes per delete each line, then I suggest
you find a different editor.  [ :-)? ]  Really, deleting a line
or a bunch of them should just take a few keystrokes.
