formatting left in to make a point

 At last - somebody who knows how to use an editor :-)
 
 A lot of threads on this list wind up with 8 or more levels of  
 quoting, including the list footers every time, so I don't mean to  
 pick on this particular thread, but could folks *please* at least  
 edit out the unneeded footers, as well as any needless text.
 
 I see a lot of postings with 100 lines of quotes just to add a line  
 or two, makes for tedious reading.
 
 I hope this will be taken in a constructive way, as that is how I  
 intended it.

  LVM would sit there looking at my DVD forever until I ejected it)
 
  From the mount man page:
 
  noauto  Can only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the -a option will
  not cause the file system to be mounted).
 
  It's not a KDE thing per se.

Point well taken, but I hope mine was as well.

Yes.  It seems like the frequency of 100+ line quoted posts
with a 1-line reply appended has increased recently, but maybe
I've just been more annoyed by them recently. :)

Would be nice to have a script that I could call from .procmailrc that
would strip out most of the quoted stuff it it detects a short reply.
