     It's also typical that those who create the problem, often (always?)   
   tell others how *they* should solve the problem.   
      
     And no, scrolling to the end doesn't even solve the problem, because   
   the reader has no way of knowing if the poster did or didn't use   
   interleaved posting (quote, response, quote, response, ...), so (s)he   
   has to page through the post page-by-page, just to see if there's any   
   new text somwhere in the mass quoted text.
