Hi Filipus,
it is exactly because it can not be known if a long exchange is interesting
before reading it that tools to ignore long exchanges can be useful. The mere
action of deleting tons of cross-posted fragmented threads is time-consuming,
expecially for people like me who read -devel as a digest and -vote as regular
subscription (hidden message to some posters: I beg, implore and supplicate you
to stop cross-posting).
If a long exchange is interesting, then it can be summarised. If no summary is
made, then the exchange was probably anecdotical. It can be interesting like a
TCV documentary is, but should be skippable with no important information loss.
Have a nice day,
