What do

I wish I understood the intuition behind what you were asking. Can
you describe any situations where you feel the comparison is clear-

I'm sure this is interesting, but I don't like 3000-line messages suddenly
showing up in my inbox. Can we agree to limit this list to reasonably sized
messages?
