Agreed and his complete lack of ever trimming a post makes it awkward
to find the text at the bottom.

I don't trim every post either but he's gotten to extremes many a time.
He's not alone.

It's difficult to trim posts when you don't have a mouse to select
and delete text. That's why I rarely used to visit Google Groups
on my tablet back in the old days, and vanishingly rarely used it
to reply.

So when you use a Mickey Mouse computer, you don't have a mouse.
A mouse. How quaint. I quit using a mouse over 20 years ago. You
oldsters are so cute with your mice, desktop computers, kill files,
Windows, etc, etc, etc. You guys should put in your wills that you wish
to be buried with your beloved relics. Oh yeah.
Buried right here:

It was libi rose striegl who made me aware of the terms “techno-pessimist and “techno-optimist.”
“The computer will save us or we’re totally doomed,” striegl said. “And somewhere in the middle is the reality.”
The manager of the Media Archaeology Lab (the MAL) lives in the middle. She calls herself “agnostic” when it comes to technology, while also confessing to screen time amounting to adoration.
Instagram shows the clunky array of extinct machines that are kept in working order here. Yes, to step into the MAL is to step into a time capsule.
The PDP-8 among other computers, including the Apple lineage. The TRS-80 Model 100 among “laptops” of the day. The Walkman among portable music players and the 1913 phonograph among larger ones.
The brick-sized IBM Simon among early cellphones. Among radios is the Panosonic that flips up a TV screen. The handheld Blip is among forgotten video games.
