Just a reminder why this is important. Primarily, it is to reduce
bandwidth for people using dial-up connections. Remember that we have a
subscriber in Cuba. We also have subscribers in South Africa where
dial-up is typical.

Also, we don't want to get in the bad habit of sending along text from
13 early replies. This is not only an eyesore, it also smacks of Menshevism.
