Wedgie,
2 comments.
1) I hung out on a thread (AMTX) for a couple of years...that had over 30000 posts many of them with the same fervor, humor, and information flow as here, much junk too. Personally, I am used to large volume reading, and nothing has changed for me. AMTX was purchased by TXN, so that thread is a shell of it's former self.
2) I agree with your post. On AMTX, we tried somewhat successfully to help readers that didn't want to wade through all the stuff by using the top line of the comment like a subject line, and then proceeding with content from there. We also used OT, EOM, etc to help speed things along. We use these here.
If you don't stay with this, I also agree, you will come back to more posts than you have time for. Thean and/or Lucretius used to do summary posts for the day or week, and that would be nice to help readers get back in after a business trip, or vacation.
I like the spirit of this thread, it's great, and I've learned a ton, and hopefully contributed to other learning some things too.
