But what happens if a posting contains some points I agree with and some
that I disagree with.  This is the most common form of posting in both
mailing lists and on the USENET as far as I'm concerned.  Do I just cut
out each point separately and attach an ``agree'', ``disagree'' or
``ambivalent'' SOAP to them?  Or am I forced to make an overall judgement
of the posting as a whole?  Or split it up into sub-topics, even if they
haven't deviated greatly from the main topic?
