So you wasted the time of hundreds of people.

You can use up all of your coupons very quickly if you don't take
a bit of care when composing posts.

Tad, please do not misunderestimate me. I humbly apologize to all the
opressed
masses of the world that I helped further opress with my lack of
precision. You are
hereby granted the right to draw a cartoon of my person. I promise not
to torch down anything if you decide to do so.

Snide remarks like this are not appreciated here. Tad has done you a
service by showing you how to ensure continued assistance here.

In addition, I have noticed that GG now quotes the message you are
replying to by default, so it is incumbent upon you to quote properly by
trimming the message down to the most relevant bits.

*Sigh*

PS: On a somewhat related note, I noticed that GG users now get to rate
newsgroup posts. Arrrghh!

I wonder how hard it would be to auto-rate certain posters....
