I notice because the Thunderbird newsreader lists the line count of each post, 
and it's pretty obvious when the line count is far higher than the number of 
displayed lines.

Generally I think it is a bad idea to edit the news files to be something 
different from what the user sent. It suggests we are editing the content as 
well, and I don't want to get into that mess. The only thing I will do is delete 
  posts.

Yours and everyone elses' posts are exactly as received.
