As you have probably noticed, the volume of traffic in comp.compilers is
considerably higher than it used to be. One of the most time-consuming jobs
in moderating the group is trimming down the quotes in articles. In most
cases, you can expect readers to have seen the previous article, so only a
few lines of quoted text should be needed to remind the reader of the context.
I have installed a simple-minded quote filter that mechanically returns to
the sender any message that contains more quoted than unquoted lines. Please
edit your quoted text before you send in a response, to avoid having the
filter bounce your message.
Regards,
John Levine, comp.compilers moderator
PS: Your moderator, who still reads and edits all messages before posting,
will not be impressed by noise lines added to confuse the filter.
