Right, and while it takes you less than a minute to cut away unimportant 
stuff, it saves N people's time, where N >> 1.  I find myself often losing 
time scrolling down someone's post to find whether there is more text further 
down, only to find it's not.  It's best when there is no scrollbar at all, 
but you can immediatly see what's been written, still with the relevant 
quotes above.
