Bull. If you properly trim and intersperse your replies, you have the best
possible result. Look at all the crap you left in your post. We don't
need a flame war here - at one point in time it was stated in the FAQ how
to properly reply to a post. Just becuase you're lazy, don't make that an
excuse to give up on proper etiquette.
Back in the day -- my day, anyway (the early 1970s) -- a lack of proper
etiquette in the classroom, which is really what this mailing list is,
would earn you a barehanded slap on the behind if not a whack with a
stout wooden yardstick.
I myself was treated to a bit of humiliation in front of the classroom
for not obeying the teacher's instructions. I was angry at the time, but
with perspective I know I needed to be brought firmly under the
teacher's thumb. I never did it again.
Look at how we stand now as a society. This is where the absence of
etiquette and the lack of appropriate obedience has gotten us. Nowhere.
