Most of the time I simply skip what Duncan writes, as it usually
doesn't help me personally, but he sure has a great amount of
knowledge.

If it annoys you, just don't read it? You don't have to.

@Duncan: maybe a (very short) section of tl::dr at the top of your
mails could be useful for many, instead of burying the essential
information in the length of the mail.

While I know my way around in searching and diagonal reading long
texts, most people will have a hard time trying to extract the
relevant information, so why not put the important stuff in a 3-liner
at the top, and keep the rest for those who enjoy reading you?

Regards, Myriam
