That is probably because someone else did it for you. All one has to do is
read a few posts on this list to figure out the posting protocol here. I
have become so spoiled by the posting on this list that I find other
mail-list hard to read.

This ain't the Miss Manners mail-list. Actually, Ian has really toned it
down a lot. He used to actually be a little rude to people who didn't follow
the posting format. Now he is the epitome of urbanity.

Someone else pointed out

NANCY
Hey, Ian has been going to charm school and his teachers have been beating
the rudeness out of him. Personally, I liked the old Ian better. The new Ian
is just too, well, too polite.

Too bad you wouldn't stick around long enough to get to know Ian a little
better and to understand what he is trying to accomplish. Oh well. Vale!
