TullettJ,etc - why so much aggression ? I merely suggested a writer be concise/
precise so as not to waste posters time reading useless information.

Abbie2u:
I don't think there was any aggression from TullettJ.
Such aggression as you may have received from other posters may, perchance, be the usual response to someone on a bulletin board that sets themselves up as the arbiter of style and taste on an informal public medium. Here, as elsewhere in life, you will find the concise, the pompous, the windbags, the intelligent, the stupid, the informative, the ignorant, the amusing, the fascinating, the dull and all shades of grey and admixtures of the foregoing.
Tolerance, within the limits of decency and la politesse, is usually all that is expected of you.
I commend it to you.
Regards
MM
PS: And beware: always check your spelling and punctuation -- the board harbours a number of members of the Lynne Truss Admiration Society :)

MM, that was far, far too long/verbose/rambling... I am a recent ajren convert so let me rewrite it in the right style:
"Many people here. Be tolerant/decent/accurate."
Jon of course would have avoided a lot of trouble if he had merely posted:
"MoneyAM down until Sunday sometime/probably/whenever. Sorry."
Too many words wastes storage space, bandwidth, and electricity in displaying them and I commend this style to all posters.

MM, I must agree with Kayak.
Your proclivity for verbosity could, in the words of Dan Quayle, "lead to unclear inarticulate things".

Well I don't know. It all sounds very risky to me. If I'd known you were going to muck around with my web-proxy cluster I wouldn't have joined.

I have read the postings from the pompous, the windbags, the ignorant, the stupid, the dull etc.
When will the postings from the intelligent, the informative, the amusing, or the fascinating arrive.
