Everyone:

Honestly.. the best method is to not let it bug you anymore. It's only a 
seething issue to you because you let it be.


You're suggesting that one use 15 blank lines just so that you don't 
have to see any of these self-inflicted transgressions. It would be much 
simpler and less taxing on all involved to simply not let it bother you 
anymore.


"Impossible!" you may cry.. but I don't believe so. I used to be the 
same. It's easily beatable. You could send twenty paragraphs of 
so-called 'legal text' suffixed to your email and I wouldn't so much as 
bat an eye. It may take some personal effort but you need to learn to 
'let it go'.


This is a non-issue in the scope of things and you've made a mountain 
out of this grain of sand. Brush it aside and move on. It isn't worth 
your time.

What do you mean when you say “software defined networking”? Do you have a 
particular problem or use case you are approaching?
