Damned if you do, damned if you don't it seems.
Also, I seriously doubt anyone quotes the entire digest on purpose. I usually understand that someone made a mistake and don't begrudge them the extra three seconds out of my day it took to scroll past it.

While I agree with much of what you said (especially for what to call something since it has effects on how useful a search of the APD archives will be), the way you wrote your post is more of a flame than constructive criticism. For that reason I think a lot of people here will be forwarding your message to the same address.
