Not desiring to continue the thread, but:
This is not IRC, it is a mailing list. There is no need to use the
silly little abbreviations designed to "speed up" on-line chat and
the typing of same. Use English or as close an approximation as you
can. Capital letters help as well as punctuation -- a carriage return
is not expected to be the end of a sentence, especially when the next
line starts in lower case. My best estimate is that the quoted message
took me at least three times as long to parse as it should have.
