I agree with Henrik 100%. But many people do not like to be told what to do,
or to have rules imposed on them. So here's another motivator for all you
"lazy" posters. <g>
The whole reason a person posts a message to a public list is to effectively
communicate a message to as many people as possible. A message that is
unnecessarily long winded (i.e. rambling) and/or contains screenfuls of
quotes is less likely to be read. Thus, the effective communication of your
message fails.
So if you don't like to respond to "Big Brother" rules, then edit your
message for your own good. Increase the likelihood that you will be heard.
