[TCML] Trim messages!

[Jim Lux <jimlux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ladies, Gentlemen, and assorted scholars...

Please remember to trim long message chains.  (painful waiting  on slow 
over the air connection recently..)

I know the mail readers sometimes helpfully don't display all the back 
mails in the thread.  But they still burn those kilobytes, and for those 
list members reading their traffic on that ASR 33 teletype, it consumes 
a lot of paper and ribbon ink.

Or more to the point, if you're sitting on a plane using the WiFi, 
sharing vital Tesla Coiling info bandwidth with 100 people streaming 
whatever it is they are streaming, you become painfully aware of the 
long tail on some of these messages.


In any case, a nice <snip> while retaining enough context so that 
someone understands the response is appropriate.

(we leave aside here the folks who do a reply to a digest posting on a 
particularly high traffic day... the moderators kill those ones off 
before you suffer from them.. but we moderators, sitting on self same 
airplane, still find it painful)


Thanks to all..

Jim
