Look. I'm fairly new to this list. Here's how I see it. If you can tell what the post is about via the subject line and with a decently seperated quoted section from the prior post, maybe from even two prior posts, then who is *anyone* to tell me to use brackets, quotation marks, dashes, or whatever the heck I choose? If you can tell what section is the replied to quote and what section is my reply, stop squabbling over the semantics, and wasting my time by filling my email box.
As far as confusing posts go, guess what? Most of the people subbing on here are looking for help. Not everyone will be as articulate about their issue as we might like, but remember, the IT support industry is 1 part technical know-how, 1 part patience. There's no place for impatience or frustration in this field, and I think that confusing questions, comments, and general bad grammar have plagued the IT professional since the beginnings of the industry in the early 80's. So please, let's cap this nonsense about how best to format, and to be clear. I think that's common sense. And if it isn't, we can deal with such things privately. Sorry about my rant, but I think someone needed to stand up and tell the rest of you to sit down and chill on this stuff. You all seem to offer good help and discussion, let's just not get uppety about the tiny stuff. -J ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
