OT: Netiquette Question

[Neal Morgan]

At this risk of stirring things up, may I ask a dumb question?

One of you made a reference to "snip" - and I was unable to determine
whether you meant this was an example of poor netiquette.  If it is,
what is the preferred approach?  ...especially when the thread has taken
a turn and much of the original discussion no longer applies?   Start a
new thread?  



Thanks in advance.
