It's lazy and wasteful to include everything.  I'm sure I'm not the only
one out here who stacks up eight or nine hundred messages at a time from
various lists...  No I don't read them all, but I can generally pick out
threads that interest me.  I just don't have the time to wallow in all the
crap that doesn't pertain to an answer.  And I have enough control over my
mail reader to go back and read an entire thread without causing a cerebral
hemorrhage.

Frankly, it gets a little tiring to read through the SAME paragraph in
eight different messages an hour.
