What exactly is saved by having one long post rather than several
shorter ones? It breaks threading, and doesn't really save any time to
read the posts. And since it's not possible to "save" posts in this
way in a back-and-forth discussion, the only purpose in that case
seems to be to slow things down.

KathyK, a list elf speaking only for herself:
 
We don't have a posting limit to encourage combining replies.  We have a posting limit to lower message volume, which, during big releases (book, movie), can be qutie overwhelming.  Combining messages is an effective way to comply with the posting limit while still having your say on this day rather than waiting until the next.
