I was going to ignore this, but due diligence prompted me to investigate the horrible load I might be placing on people using dialup technology. Patrick Shanahan wrote:

In your opinion. I disagree.

Actually no. I don't like such things. I find they disturb the reading order. If you disagree, then perhaps you'll also disagree with those who claim that "top-posting" disturbs the reading order? Your request would be to "non-post" it on some 3rd party program that can't be read in email. Seems to be that even thinking about "out-of-program posting" should be considered many times worse than simple "top-posting" where the poster used professional communications & records format rather than that used in a single-source or unbroken discussion discussion reading format. Professional communications & records like those used in law and medicine or in project documentation that is meant to bring people up to speed don't usually start w/defining terms and background, but go into what is currently happening, with older material available as one goes further or deeper into notes. They definitely don't reference material outside their current media.
You know there are still people on measured service!
--- The only measured service I'm familiar with these days for landline usage measures in quantities of many gigabytes (hundreds of gigabytes for many ISP's these days). My post would be less than 1/10,000 of 1% (percent) of that amount. Comparing your posting for this group for the past month or two I see 308K & 37 posts, vs. for me (without that post), 338K & 54 posts. I averaged 6.3K/post, to your 8.3K/post -- adding that post brought it to 8.5K/post, slightly over yours, from being 24% less than your posts, on the average. How would you feel about being required to truncate 2K off your posts and being told to go post them someplace where they can't be read, "in-line"? Given the circumstances, It seems something else might be bugging you about that post. Hmmm...I wonder...
