It was a joke. Note the winking smiley. ;o)
I was poking a little fun at myself and some of the other list members
(Bull?). All that most members see of each other is our writing. The
way some of us are prone to typos and grammar errors in our messages,
you'd think we didn't even have a grasp of our native tongue (English).

I think you're trying to run with the letter of the law and not the
spirit of the law. We wan't you to crop unneeded parts of the message
you're replying to. We don't need the sig tagged onto the previous
post, and we don't want you leaving three screens of a message when
you're only replying with a one-liner. Just proper netiquette.
Senselessly chopping words into slang and faddish abbreviations is not
what we were looking for.
Please, I've asked you nicely to simply stop using the hacker-speak
spelling. Don't take this further.
