Default Batteries That Do Not Leak w/Age?

On 12/2/2010 7:34 PM Wild_Bill spake thus:

If you look at a typical thread that's been receiving replies for a couple
of days, there is a lot of previously read junk to scroll down thru to get
to a reply that may be a couple of words. It simply amounts to a lot of
wasted time.

So your position is that everyone should waste that time, because of some
outdated method based on the early BBS networks, correct?


No, it's because there's this advanced technique called "trimming",
which I just demonstrated here. No need to mindlessly copy every part of
a message in a deeply-nested thread. Duh.
