That is where message-trimming comes into play, and really is a
problem with both types of posting. No orrogance involved, or
intended, by a particular form of posting. The next message just gets
tacked onto the top, ready to be read at the click of a button.. with
cliff notes below it just in case you forgot what the thread was about
:-)

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so
many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -
because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too
cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are
called patience and forbearance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
