Jeff, it would appear that I too need to get a so-called "perspective on things since I felt you were (and still are) 100% in the right. Since I use the web interface for discussion in these threads, I hardly ever feel the need to quote anything at all. Merciless quoting makes an otherwise enjoyable thread, painful. And having people defend such quoting methods is yet pain upon pain. If anyone needs "perspective" it is those who have not yet understood the principle of "lean posting." It really is meaningless to quote anything at all unless one quotes a specific section of a post that one is replying to (unless of course your reply is somehow covering ever single word in the post you are quoting, which usually is quite rare).
Moreover, the post to which Jeff responded to originally was nothing stellar. Let's admit it. Bad capitalization, bad punctuation, terse as can be. Ugh! True, not everyone is perfect, but we should try to be as perfect as possible. Most of us have taken English classes, yes? This is the web, yes. And sadly, many of the youth among us consider that a ticket to bad grammar, bad punctuation, writing mostly in acronyms, merciless quoting, and so on. But the fact is, proper writing skills still apply even to the web, especially here where many of us are no long in our teens, more less our 20's. Now with that said, and it really did need to be said, should we not work on answering Jeff's original and important question?
