Because when there's about 50 such interesting but not-enough-time posts
per day, it really isn't worth the trouble.  I'm using a Lousy Telnet App
for email due to the fact that I only download emails onto my Mac once a
month--and once downloaded, it may be *quite* a long time before I hook
it up to the internet again to send out any *replies.*  (Internet
arrangements in our apt. are a bit weird.)

I do occasionlly keep posts that I don't understand but that look
interesting, but only an average of one or two per day.  While it may
take me several weeks to get to reading 'em, it's worthwhile.  Just not
in huge great quantities.

Over winter break I will probably be able to read nearly everything.  I
can't wait....
