  Geez if you don't want to read something just delete it. It's that what a 
subject line 
  is for so you can see that the subject is before you open the email.

  I would think this information would be very valuble...

 LETS PRINT THAT WEATHER FORECAST A FEW MORE TIMES, 
 THAT,S REALLY INTERESTING. CAN,T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT
 RIDECAMP SO I CAN READ IT AGAIN,AGAIN & AGAIN...

She's not objecting to the weather report.  She's mostly objecting to people
replying to the weather report and including the whole wealther report
all over again in their reply without trimming it down, or editing it out
of their reply altogether. (Happened twice.)  If you get Ridecamp in
digest form, half of it is nothing but repeats of previous posts.  The
digest is all in one giant email message, so there's no such thing as
seeing an individual message's subject line and not opening and/or
deleting just the ones you don't want to read.

Whether the original message is included when you hit "Reply" is
an email program option.  If you do include it, it is good form
to delete everything except just enough to show who sent it and
to recall pertinent verbiage to people's minds. 
 
John T has asked people to trim down their "reply" posts on
several occasions.  Few do.  Some don't even seem to understand
what he's asking.  Must be too young to remember 300 baud.
