James here....First lets all be blessed that Bob donates his time to allow this forum to exist. Here Here, Bob ! We need to remember that many of the really useful sites on the net are free (for the user) and the owner gets paid none or little. It is a labor of love on both parts.
I like 3 of the sugestions, 2 we can do and 1 Bob can do.
make better use of the subject line, either moving to a new thread or at least changing the subject line w/i a thread.
Not quoteing all of the original post (and all the replys) in your posts. You wanted to do something about post length ? YOU CAN ! This is your big chance to "make a difference" hehe
All you have to do is highlight (Rt. click, drag)
and hit delete key, on the sections you don't want. The idea is to leave enough of the original post so we know what you are refering to.Btw, text compresses very well under v.34 and v.90 modem protocals, generally 2X to 3x above your connection speed. Text downloads to me at effective speeds above 100 kbs, very fast.
I like to idea of an search tool; there is a lot of good info stored at this site. A search interface would put this info into a more useful form.
