During one episode of having problems with this style of posting, I received
messages in which I counted 700-plus lines of quoted digest in a single
message, following five or ten lines of original text. "Frustrating" hardly
begins to describe it. Over the next few days, subsequent messages bounced from my
mailbox -- I never received them at all -- presumbly because they contained
1400-plus or 2800-plus lines of quoted text, after the same poster quoted
their next digest.
And yes, I considered that outcome seriously destructive.
