I have to agree here. Some of your messages are kind of(sometimes very)
confusing. And when you reply to a message you delete what was in the message
rather than leaving the part of the original message you were replying to. If
you were to do that, then that would help A LOT. Also like Sproat said
punctuation and caps would also help, and even punctuation would make the
messages easier to read. For example you could write what you did like this so
that it would sound ok when reading it.

"since i posted the announcement, i have added 'not disk' and 'cylinder
support'." or
"Since I posted the announcement, I have added 'not disk' and 'cylinder
support'." rather than
"since i posted the announcement i have added not disk and cylinder support"

I think you know that we are not angry at you but just a little fustrated at
your "unique" writing style :)

ps I will compliment you on your reply to my message because you did use good
punctuation there :)

Johnathan, what the heck?

Just a suggestion:  You might try to proof-read your messages before you
post.  Punctuation and caps might help as well.  (1)

1.  i dont want to cramp your almost unique style but it is hard to read and
follow when there is no punctuation or capital letters your sentences tend
to ramble also its not my fault its the educational system the nerds.
i know its not fair that other people can do it this way and get read it can
look c00l but also sometimes amateurish but i find your posts especially
hard to follow no offence.
otherwise keep up the work and ignore this tirade but youre sometimes rude
and hard to read.
so get cracking.

(...) Could you set your line length to less than 80? The whole sentence above that starts with "I have to" is one huge long line. (26 years ago, 8-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.cad.dev)
