let's see........
it's not friday is it .......so will keep this short.
There are *many* vanagon related things and offshoots of vanagon that are
interesting for those that are interested............... duh.
I believe that fundamentally, they should have the opportunity to indulge
themselves.
Which is why I suggested just seque over to my turobvans.group for those, or
cc to that group sometimes, and pick up the offending thread there.

Technically speaking, if non-trimmed posts are an issue, I understand that.
Although, I was on a group where the posts had 15 previous posts on them,
many of them 15 paragraphs long even, and no one ever said there was a
problem with how much bandwidth that consumed etc........
but anyway......I can grasp that 'too much ' is just too much, and trimming
if fine - I just like to see WHAT someone is replying to. You
know,.........someone asnwers 'yes' and that's their whole post, and you
can't see what they are saying yes too......etc. etc.

oh.........and anything that bothers anyone.......the existince of it on the
site or in their inbox.........it's not like anyone is forced to read it.
I delete stuff so often and so fast it's silly.   On  a pc, all you do is
right click it, ( a post in your inbox ) then touch the D key - poof !
............, gone forever from your world !

Let reason prevail.
