SOME POSTERS MAKE LARGE NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUAL POSTS. WHY DONT THEY JUST MAKE A SINGLE POST WITH ALL THE LINKS LISTED TOGETHER ?
Because with a long list many people will re-quote it in total when only commenting on one of the items. This makes reading/commenting on such posts more time consuming/difficult for many people. With individual posts it is much easier to find/follow threads about a particular recommendation, and comment on it, if desired. If one doesn’t want to see these posts then killfile the people who make them. See 22. Individual posts also make it easier for people to killfile topics/programs that don’t interest them. Also, some people keep newsgroup posts so if there are multiples they can save what they want and delete the rest. One big post would necessitate saving a lot of info one didn’t want.
