More list ettiquite
Since everyone else is listing their pet peeves, I figgure I will too.
and, since I am also a lazy person at heart, I'm gonna rip this straight
from TIN 1.4:
If your article contains quoted text please take some time to pare it down
to just the key points to which you are responding, or people will think
you are a dweeb! Many people have the habit of skipping any article whose
first page is largely quoted material. Format your article to fit in less
then 80 chars, since that's the conventional size (72 is a good choice as
it allows quoting without exceeding the limit). If your lines are too long
they'll wrap around ugly and people won't read what you write. If
you aren't careful and considerate in formatting your posting, people
are likely to ignore it completely. It's a crowded net out there.
