I don't particularly enjoy sifting through repostings of multi-page memos
either but- sometimes it's (a) necessary to repost certain things in order to
maintain some coherent thread of the conversation and (b) some users either
don't have decent editors or aren't familiar with their systems to the point
of being able to edit repostings neatly.

I daresay that these individuals should not leave the newsgroup just to please
you and your low-grade computer system.  If you don't like it, say the hell
off the newsgroup.
