   I realize this isn't totally your fault as it seems to   
   be the way Google Groups messages are formatted, but....   
      
   A lot of posts are a couple hundred lines of quoted   
   text with only a few lines in reply.   
      
   Could you please trim off everything except the relevant   
   part to which you are replying? It's not a bandwidth   
   thing but an eyesore.   
      
   Further, apparently Google is messing up the quoting   
   levels part anyway. Most of many deeply threaded posts   
   are filled will large swaths of nothing but...

   So, could you please trim this off since it's not needed?   
      
   And finally, could you please use the return/enter key   
   after about 80 characters or so on a line? It seems you   
   are relying on the word wrap in the window of your browser   
   but when the message is posted, it's posted as one great   
   long line that tends to go off the right side of the   
   screen by several feet.   
      
   BTW, anyone else notice that all Google messages are posted   
   as having line counts of exactly 100 no matter how many   
   lines there really are in the message?   
      
   "Do no evil"... my ass!
