A direct quote, I see, from S. Rosenberger, inventor of Idiom Neutral, 
104 years ago. Well, it could yet happen, but -- as for many other things 
-- I don't recommend holding your breath.

And ... a word to the wise ... netiquette requests (it cannot demand, of 
course) that quoted material irrelevant to your comments be excised 
before mailing. Quoting twenty or thirty lines of material so that you 
can make a pithy one-word comment is considered an undesirable waste of 
bandwidth and costs hundreds if not thousands of net.dollars. (The net.
dollar is worth approximately two bottle caps.)
