<p dir="ltr">All of that is quoting. That's ridiculous. I let that
one through but this is the last time.</p>

Sorry, that was me. After I got the moderator notice I took a knife
to the message and resubmitted.<br>
<br>
And that's a good pointer. I was not aware of that convention. I
had intentionally not trimmed posts for the sake of anyone who
wanted to catch up on the flow of a thread by reading a single
email. But of course that's a two-edged sword, and I see now that
the etiquette here is both to snip and to bottom-post.<br>
