I owe a lot of people an apology for that crack. I can't help the fact
that I really get spun up by poor writing and bad netiquette, and I
won't be so hypocritical as to pretend I don't, but I am sorry I
offended more people than those who had it coming.
I will say this. You can skate over to any of the Usenet newsgroups to get an idea of what happens to the signal to noise ratio when people don't observe long-standing standards on netiquette. I really think we need to stay on topic and to quoting properly and reply in readable english, which is the language of the list.
