I am complaining about the difficulty I have, reading posts which wrap around unnecessarily, in a rather unsightly fashion, particularly when they have been forwarded numerous times. This does happen quite often, as you may have noticed. I also said "please", so I don't think I was trying to be obnoxious or offensive in any way. Maybe you could recommend a better way to make the same suggestion, in a more constructive fashion? Or, does it not matter to you at all? Try forwarding this message to yourself, several times in a row, and see what happens to what you have written below. /s/ Paul Mitchell > >This seems pretty pretentious of you to expect the entire email population >of the internet to adjust the way they write email to fit your personal >preferences.
