Personally, because it complicates things. When I'm reading, expecially on a high traffic 
list, I want to get straight to the detail, the information in the post. I don't particularly like 
having to wade through padding to get to the meat of what people are saying. TBAY 
posts tend to have a lot of that padding (-8

That's not to say, I don't think people should post in that fashion - obviously a lot of 
people get a lot of pleasure out of it, and knowing that they do, I'm certainly willing to put 
up with the slight amount of inconvenience I feel reading the posts (especially as they 
often are very entertaining). But you asked, so I thought I'd answer.
