"Nimium diu, non legit" could work. I wouldn't use the passive "legitur", it's begging for some jerk to reply it with "reuera, ego illud legi!!!" (actually, I read that!) or crap like that.

It's just that "nimis, neglego" is shorter and alliterative, even if not literal. Plus that "neglego" (I'm indifferent, I neglect) shows the same sort of disdain that you see often in "TL;DR".
