Just a bit of a personal investigation.

I use a offline reader and have about 8,000 articles downloaded (off a 
bit because of cross posting).

I just ran a perl script to see what the references lines looks like.

Out of all those articles I have two (2) which have a references line 
length  over 998bytes (1013 & 1015).  34 with over 900 bytes. And more 
than half of them are less than 250 (4278).

In a way this (GNKSA 7c) is a acknowledge of a current situation and a 
attempt to get newsreaders to use a LONGER references line (and not to 
cut out the reference to the first article).
