I've used far less space than a single Ich spam-post. I'll repeat it in case you missed it. :-) Greater use of links rather than spam-posting large amounts of text is logical and more efficient. Engineers understand that. On the other hand what possible purpose have your posts served other than to childishly whine about my suggestions?
"I've used far less space than a single Ich spam-post."
I can't help but notice that you've failed to call Elsie a "spammer" based on her extremely long posts:

Or is this really about intellectual disagreements, not the length of a post?
I am not childishly whining...it has been pointed out to you exactly why, just posting links is often not useful...those who want the information, want it printed out in the post, because they dont want to be bothered with clicking onto the link(why this is so hard to do, is beyond me)...but Ichneumons lengthy posts are there, by request by many posters...you just dont seem to like that...perhaps you are afraid, that someone might actually read those posts and learn a thing or two?...
My purpose is to counter your baby whining....you can call my posts childish whining all you want...if it makes you happy, go on ahead...if that is all you have, then you come up empty on content...at least Ichneumon and Elsie and many others post lengthy posts which may inform others...that is their contribution...
Your contribution is to whine about those lengthy posts...my contribution is to point out your baby whining(hardly worthwhile suggestions, which has already been explained to you by other posters, didnt you read those posts, or did you just not comprehend?)...
Whether one posts a lengthy post, or provides a link to information, its all the same to me...
Yes, yes, I understand about engineers, my son is an engineer...big deal...that has little to do with the reasons why many people provide lengthy posts...but then,you have already been told why, havent you?
