I must say that while this list is, by far, the most polite and civiliced group I've ever been subscribed to, it is the most difficult to read, too: I have to agree with you.

I do more or less the same, because my time is limited, so I delete without reading any message with four pages of quotations, topposting or both, except if coming from a couple of particular members whose answers are always worth the extra effort. If someone doesn't spend time in their messages, I don't see why I should spend time reading them. It's not a matter of offending or punishing anyone, it's just that time is not free. I tend to write long messages, it's a bad habit I cannot avoid :(, but I understand if nobody reads them and answers. As I said, it's a matter of time.
