don't like reading the threads when they get too far disconnected from the
original topic. But how far is too far? No jokes at all? No witty retorts?
That's a completely different topic; we're talking about seemingly endless
levels of untrimmed quotes that one has to scroll through to get to a very
short reply at the bottom. Makes it very difficult to read and follow a
discussion.
(Personally, I like to see a little personal banter and joking; it helps one
get to know the folks we're communicating with. It does go a bit too far
sometimes, but for me it only becomes irritating when these two problems are
combined -- page after page after page of untrimmed, now-irrelevant quotes
many levels deep, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, just to find a line or
two of something completely irrelevant at the bottom.)
