Kudos to you Douglas. I've tried editing posts to trim irrelevant junk a
couple of times and it quickly led to burnout. It came down to closing the
list or giving up trying to make it more readable.

I've settled on autonag scripts that send a reminder email to posters who
quote everything (based on finding 2 or more footers in the post) or who
do not include a topic keyword (my list has topics).

I hope your subscribers appreciate the amount of unpaid work you're doing.
