I agree. It's also helpful sometimes, when replying to a post, if people
copy the relevant part of the message into the top of their reply,
so that the posts are self-contained.

Someone earlier bemoaned the lack of the original text in the reply
mode. All you have to do, though, is 'Ctrl C' [copy] the selected text
from the top box and 'Crtl V' [paste] it into the reply box. It's not
always necessary, especially if the title is pertinent, but it can help
make a point.

I'm extremely guilty of making mammoth posts [such as that one on British
food] - can any of the e-mail recipients here tell me if the really long
posts get chopped off? What's the maximum length?
