I don't think it's about three lines; it's about something unreadable
to some. We always try to write so that everybody on this list knows
and understands everything that is posted - and nobody feels "left
out".

People on this list are strict about courtesy <g>; don't worry, so far
nobody has been flamed, flooded with mail, terminated, threatened, or
anything else on this list. Not even for not using the sig delimiter.

Explanation accepted in full. ;-)

This reply of yours shows the opposite. You are not a loser at all.

And this is where I have to defend Wolfgang: I would think this
wording is considered appropriately polite in Germany. I am sure he
didn't intend to convey any bad vibes. (Wolfgang, correct me if I'm
wrong.)
