Hi Platt
Unless I send out a warning (or have already sent one out) on the list,
I have no intention of limiting responses, original contributions etc. I
don't like doing that and have always tried to avoid situations where
that can happen.
By eliminating unnecessary repetition, posts and threads are easier to
follow and are more like conversations. They also take up less space in
the archives and when searching the archives less effort is needed to
follow a thread. IMO.
There are still some posts slipping through (some are my fault) that
don't follow the simple protocol of removing unnecessary comments but
these are becoming less prevalent. We'll get there eventually.
Once we get to the point where this is at a reasonable level and members
are consistently posting with care then I shall increase the post size
so that no-one is inconvenienced.
Cheers

Hi Horse,
OK. I get it. It's about eliminating unnecessary repetition, not limiting
responses or other original contributions, as I had erroneously assumed.
Thanks for explaining.
Platt.

Hi Platt
Don't panic - I'm only bumping posts that aren't edited properly.
I'm not bothered if a post is over 10K as long as it's properly edited.
All I'm trying to do is to get members to refrain from just copying whole
posts and adding a couple of lines at the beginning - I'm not commenting on
content, just how much irrelevant content is included.
The vast majority of posts are already less than 10K.
It's a bit tricky trying to predict how much text constitutes 10K as it
depend on whether you create an email in plain text, rich text, html etc.
