>Yeah, I do try to trim off long messages. Sometimes when reading a thread, people will just keep replying to replies of replies of replies and never snip off the old stuff. I guess I've been guilty, too, but lately I've tried to do better so that, as you say, the mouse wheel doesn't start smoking and fry my finger.
And imagine you get thrown out of Starbucks together with your laptop, just because your mouse started smoking :).
