Here is a point to ponder... why force everybody that comes to this
newsgroup to download scores of 850+ line posts because you have a
problem with another poster? You are punishing the wrong person(s).
Try email.....

I don't "force" anyone to read anything, gee I wish you policed the OT
threads the way you seek to control what I post. You have no control
over my posts as nobody can stop the lying socialist idiot starting his
OT political threads, so either challenge the substance of what I say or
don't bother.

Please remember that about 1/2 of the internet world still uses dial-up
services. An 850 line post takes a long time to dribble in.

That is also the reason why it a matter of courtesy to trim all but the
relevant portions portion of the original posts in a reply.
Ditto for posting pictures to a non-binary newsgroup.
