The thing is that long posts might be off-putting to mailing list members
who might have an opinion about something, but don't want to engage in a
grammatical dissection or a debate. But long posts tend to generate long
posts, because a person replying to one might feel like they might be
accused of avoiding the issue if they don't address every point. A "TL;DR"
allows people to reply to a long post with a short one, by ignoring
everything not in the "TL;DR". It's not an insult (at least, that wasn't
its original purpose, though perhaps some people use it as one).

But anyway: does *anyone else* have an opinion of what {reH latlh qabDaq
qul tuj law' Hoch tuj puS} means, and what the comparative grammar is doing
in that sentence? (Short answers only.)
