Looking at the last 228 messages on CLA, containing 7350 total body
(not header) lines, 2118 of which are quote lines, I find the
length of a body decreased on average by 1.8 lines from the message
it referenced, with standard deviation 23.4, or, taking ratios,
bodies decrease to .995, standard deviation 2.2 For two messages
both containing quoted lines, the number of quoted lines increased
by 1.4, s.d. 12.1, or to 119%, s.d. 3.5 So the ratios have substantially
less variance than the deltas, indicating an exponential fits the
data much better than a linear model.
