I try to be forgiving on conversation forums, but 'try' and 'do' are not the
same, as any 3 foot tall green muppet can tell you. <grin> I think the reason
it bothers me is that I'm reading it. Although the posts that are more
'conversation-like' don't seem to bother me, its the (frequent) long rants and
diatribes that seem to spontaniously occur on usenet that get to me. As far as
I'm concerned, if you're going to rant, do it conherently, or there's no point.
