I'm afraid I'm a dissenter here--I _like_ the long posts. My system shows
each individual e-mail and where it's from, so I can see how long each one is,
and if I think it's too long to read and respond to immediately, I print it
out and save it to read for later (I'm on another list, by the way, where
the postings sometimes run to a thousand or more lines, and are often
in Estonian! Does anybody out there know a good Estonian dictionary? Or
maybe would like to translate for me?) Anyway, I like to have all the
information at once.
