With apologies to Aeschylus, one may say of this thread,
οὐ γὰρ δοκεῖν μακρόπνους, ἀλλ’ εῖναι θέλει
[OU GAR DOKEIN MAKROPNOUS, ALL' EINAI QELEI].
One measure of its μακρπνούτης: two messages from regular posters
were held up from distribution because they exceeded the
normal 50k limit on messages. This happens because posters
aren't taking the pains to delete irrelevant parts of the cumulative
thread.
