High lines/post may be because the posters have something to say, have used blank lines for legibility, or because they don't snip

Low lines/post may be because the posters have nothing to say, have dense text, or because they over snip

Crossposting (with follow-ups set) is the preferred method of making announcements relevant to more than one group.

Unfortunately it is also a preferred method for spammers and trolls
