The following is a portion of an article submitted by rabbit!jj.

	 Newsgroups: net.flame,net.politics,net.misc
	 Subject: Long articles and content thereof. (Non flame!)
	 
	 If such cannot be done in 25 lines, then a 25 line article is
	 not appropriate to the subject, and will represent only a waste
	 of the writer's and readers' time.

Now lets see how this could be SHORTENED without loss of meaning.

If item won't fit in 25 lines, then forcing it wastes writer's & readers' time.

Notice I just achieved a 3:1 reduction in number of lines!
