SNIPPED
I (and many people outside the U.S.) have relatively costly by-the-minute
dial-up access. Many stay on line only long enough to send messages in a
batch, download emails and NG messages in a batch, then read and write off
line. One or two posts quoting 100+ lines--the entirety of several
preceding posts--with the sole addition of "", or "good one", or the
equivalent, is understandable I suppose. Lots of them soon become a
costly annoyance.
