Gene,

A lot of what you say I agree with. However, there is also a lot of
unnecessary list traffic that if people stopped sending it would also
have a significant impact on band width usage. I am referring to the
messages that all you see in them are things like:
"me too"
"here here"
"yes"
"no"

In a long thread, who are you saying any of the above to? What part of
the Thread are you responding to?

There is a balance somewhere and that is what needs to be reached. 

There is a place for proper referencing, quoting, but there is also a
need to get rid of unnecessary list traffic, which is equally annoying
in my opinion.
