Felix, Personally, after years reading LKML, I have no problem with in-line text of _any_ length, especially on the initial post or when you are asked to respond with detailed info. While I understand Bruce's comment I don't think it represents a democratic picture of what this list has been comfortable with over the years. That said, what I do have a BIG problem with is people responding and not taking the time to edit the response down to a few lines that make it clear about what their point is. Many responses to 1000 line emails are 1001 lines - the responder adds a one-liner. That's a real waste. It's a trade off. It's less likely that some of us will go read pastebin stuff, and if we want to respond technically then that's leaving us to copy/paste responses which I'm personally less likely to do. Anyway, you pays your money, you takes your chance... ;-) Cheers, Mark
