List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I am asking all people who continue the "Why Windows" "Interesting experiment" and similar threads to start trimming down their mails to the list... I know it is simple to add 3 lines at the top and hit send, but some of these messages are aproaching 300 lines long and 10 k a piece. If this trend continues I will be forced to unsubscribe from speakup purely due to the raw volume of quoted text that has appeared on this list in the last 2 weeks. Yes it all started with Teddy but it is not his fault; although he could trim out some of the irrelevent text from the messages he sends. I could filter all of his messages, but Greg and others are also adding 3 lines to the top of a post and hitting send. I am not picking on one person, but pleeding for some moderation in the raw size of messages to this list. If the size was due to important information I would understand, but many of these messages have every comment since the beginning of hte thread in them. Please people, I don't care what text editor you use, ed vi emacs edlin or dos edit, can we trim the fat?
