Could people please trim the quotes in: "Re: Cockburn: The Coup" ?

Frankly, it's a good thread, and the point just raised (by Nathan?) is critical - that there *are* liberal/leftists protests to the Appointment, but that the mainstream media is blacking them out. Larding the thread with triple- or quadruple-quotes is just throwing static on the discussion.

Also, could a certain person please stop cutting an pasting huge blocks from web articles? I'm certainly not reading them, and I don't think anybody else is either, aside from their poster. This is twice in a row.

My suggested policy is simply that people don't transfer huge blocks from web sites, unless those web sites are not publicly available.

Thanks,

Barry (the Quote Kvetcher)
