It will allow the poster to organise and read the articles in each
thread properly, and will encourage behaviour that fits in with the
long-established norms of Usenet and doesn't upset those of us that are
helpful and constructive but to do not have time to wade through acres
of un-trimmed posts and then try to reconstruct the flow of the
discussion in our heads.
