Hi Svobi,

I am truly glad that you are a regular contributor here, but I just
saw a post from you (in the Thursday Digest edition, so it would have
been from Wed. 9/3), that had like 30 screens worth (!!) of quoted
material. I mean, there are novels that don't run that long. This
full-text quoting seems to be standard operating procedure for you,
probably automatic. Maybe it's just me (is it ?), but I would really
appreciate it if you could just quote whatever is critical info, or
necessary for providing context on a reply. I think we would have all
seen the quoted text the first time, so a full recap is highly
redundant, and makes for a *tremendous* amount of scrolling.

Thanks.

Jordan
