The main reason we don't include the post is for my sanity. if it stated the actual post or part of the post, people just hit reply and instead of posting in the thread, they would just send me an email. I don't mind emails, but when you are getting 20+ a day and each one you are having to say "please post in the thread linked in the email", it gets old after a while. I am about to edit the new email though from this forum to include "DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, REPLY IN THE THREAD" at the top of it because it still happens, even though there is no info in the email. On the old software though, it was much worse.
