[pct-l] Trimming messages....this will be my last complaint

Mon Apr 21 13:04:27 CDT 2014

What bums me out is all the stupid redundant stuff actually posted to this
extremely antiquated "forum".  How many times have I had to delete a
1,000,000 word soliloquy from Diane Soini rambling on and on and on.  Add
Switchbacks need to post his fictional creative writing.  Quite frankly I
don't come to any list to read fiction I go to a book store.  So a
redundant untrimmed message shouldn't really set you off.
