I've always been of the understanding that when the thread starts
getting long, that the majority of it should be snipped, leaving the bit
that the current post is in response to.  Makes it much easier to read.

I'm also of the opinion that if some don't snip, or toppost, or hijack
threads, if that's the worst that happens to me today I'm *waaaay* ahead
of the game.  It's not a bad life...
