gotta quick it up
I think this is a ridiculous idea -- asking list participants to
re-summarize their lengthy threads -- as if they would or even could (if
they wanted to) take up even more of their own time to objectively and
succinctly cook this stuff down to a quick paragraph or two that might
be "useful" to people when they get around to reading it.

Maybe a plea to certain participants to please stop making the same
arguments over and over again, once they have already been beaten into
the ground (often by their own admission) would help with the current
traffic problem. 

I will make that plea now.
