Large posts are not bad, often it takes many lines to effectively pose a 
problem or question, or to properly answer it. The main point suggested is 
that maybe we could be a _little_ less liberal in our quoting. 12 extra 
lines is not a big deal, normally, but when someone is on digest, there can 
be several posts included in one digest, and if all the posts included are 
full of bountiful quoting, that can be a big deal (IMHO).

So, don't hesitate to ask questions that need a lot of words to be 
effectively presented, and don't hesitate to give thorough answers, even if 
they are lengthy. Just try to trim where one can. That's all I was suggesting.

David
