One of the main reasons treads become so long (and boring at times) is this awful practice of allowing posters to quote the preceding post in full when replying, sometimes quoting in one post and then posting their one sentence response in another.
In the internet world this is regarded as bad manners and poor protocol observance. In other groups I participate in such posts are deleted with a warning to sin no more and persistent offenders may be suspended / banned.
I have raised this issue before but my suggestion to introduce such measures here has thus far fallen on deaf ears.
