The comments on "L.A. Times Biz Section/Lazarus: "We can't be neutral  
on net neutrali"  show how easily we can turn an interesting  
conversation into a total mess, by quoting in full some or all of the  
posts that came before it. I totally lost the thread by the time I got  
halfway down.

This happens a lot here, too. I'd be grateful if folks could cut  
quoting to just the relevant snippet.

     [ Yes, when possible, let's at least start trying to avoid the
	practice of including *multiple* long replied-to messages that
	seem to nest inward halfway across the screen.  Specific
	quoted text is even better.  After all, uh, we don't want to
	unnecessarily use up anybody's usage/bandwidth allocations,
	right?
