Sorry old loves, I want the whole feed. It allows me to pick up a thread if I have missed contributions and, to be perfectly honest, these are plain-text postings and are not the reason why posts take long to load. Even on top of a mountain in Norway, where I am right now, we have 4g on mobiles and at least a 30MB line. Even the most bottom-heavy posts are still terribly small. There must be another reason.

Best,

Jon

It is just too easy in the grip of inspiration to type one's squalid (perhaps) rejoinder to a previous post and then click "Send" without further ado. In their defense, those who trim the quotes to which they are replying to the one or two lines germane to their reply are especially commendable. I do not post to the list all that often and I try to let the subject line invoke the "corporate memory" of what the discussion is about but then, I am in the habit of wiping away the history of my communications on a topic with emails in general. It is just so damned easy.
