Lets look at >this< way. I would personally be very grateful if you'd trim
your posts so I can read them quicker. I don't care if it saves a million
people time. It takes MY time to go through your incessant quoting, and I'd
appreciate it if you and others would do the courtesy of trimming your posts
to relevant material. I don't care if it saves 1 byte of internet bandwidth.
It IS consuming MY human bandwidth, and its frankly insulting to me that
several people have pointed this out to you now, yet you still are fighting
it. At the very least please trim off the signatures and the headers at the
top of the messages. That is NOT valuable context by any stretch of the
imagination.

Yeah, thats what they taught me when I got my undergrad CS degree. Then we
spent a year on it in MBA school. Its all a conspiracy. You got it figured
out. :-P
We're wasting WAY too many people's time with this discussion now. Let's get
back to pottering.
