[Coco] Once more: TRIM YOUR POSTS

[James C. Hrubik]

Email is still a fine way to communicate.  Following threads, even with excess stuff cut out, should not be a problem with getting information across.  I can see Dennis’ point, and he is in the driver’s seat.  It would actually be easy for him to limit posts to x number of characters, say 1000, and simply cut off any excess.  That would stir the top-reply/bottom-reply pot again, but he does have the means to limit the size of posts.

Out of courtesy for our host, we need to be considerate.  We have enjoyed his gracious efforts for many, many moons.  Thank you, Dennis.

"Leading from the rear" is oxymoronic.
