1) People, trim your posts! Four lines of reply on top of 200 lines of quoted text is insane. This
should be common knowledge by now, but we're seeing it again and again. Cut out the parts that aren't
relevant, and put your reply below the parts that are. It's much easier to read that way. It's OK to cut the
signature of the person you're responding to. I'm sure they won't cry.
2) Pretty please, can we stop saying things like Micro$oft, Mickeysoft, M$, Windoze, Losedows
etc.? It looks moronic. Maybe it was funny once, but those days are long past. I cringe whenever I see it,
and it makes the rest of your (perhaps brilliant) point go unread. You can make convincing arguments
without stooping to name-calling, surely.
Thank you.
