Ditto!  I've been ignoring the followups to the 'scientific' case series for
this reason exactly!  It's not that i'm not interested, it's simply that i
often have to wade through 3 or 4 pages of quoted material.

Let's show some restraint.  It doesn't require 2 pages (or even 2
paragraphs) of quoted material to demonstrate the gist of what someone
posted. the original article is always available for reference if needed.

It seems that net.origins postings are subject to this phenomenon more than
other groups... any ideas why?
