That's really the crux of it, right? Too much bother to scroll down. This is
called being lazy. Maybe you can get a "PgDn button pusher" from a local

As you should know, posts disappear from servers after varying periods. And

Guess what, Einstein, other people do not use your server. And I sure do not
want to have to go fight with google to read a post that someone was too
lazy to quote with their reply.
