[Fot] List notes

The lists at Team.Net have a size limit placed on messages sent to them.
Here's a perfect example of why this is so.  And of course I am quite
aware of the irony here.  Bob Dylan once sang "fearing not I'd
become my enemy in the instant that I preach" so I'll press on.

In the traffic about close ratio gear sets, one message *could* have been
this, enclosed in the first set of '===='

====

> They have no TR  gear sets.

Short, sweet, to the point, just the one line response and the line that

So how many of the lines included in this response as it was sent to the
list were actually needed?  How many just wasted disk space, filled up
quotas on recipients' mailboxes, caused unneeded work by the list
archiver,used up bandwidth sending out bits we've already seen several
times and served no purpose whatsoever?

What, exactly, are the benefits of not editing replies?
