I think some snipping is advised. I'm no graduate from Barber School. 
I don't snip at all here to illustrate. Above is says. "To unsubscribe,
see htt..." 2, 3 4, 5 times!!. That's excess baggage for sure! Who the
hell needs that?!! Cyberspace will come to a halt because of that!!!!!

Animal you grabbed that shot without any prefocusing or zone anything
good for you AF whatever but of course we don't know what a
f580200combo" is.  We're on the Dewey Decimal system here: first three
letters of the authors last name.

I snip to the essence of the question. It's quite creatively rewarding.
The trouble is if you try doing it in polite conversation they can end
up with a paper cut on the lip.
