No, thank you. Wait, that's ambiguous. I mean, no, I disagree with this post and I'm thanking you for your other one. (Geez, how long-winded can I get?)

True, no one's forcing anyone to read anything, but I'd *like* people to read my posts rather than give up in disgust, for obvious reasons, and so I appreciate any friendly advice that makes my posts more readable. (I'd've never learned even rudimentary netiquette if not for friendly strangers over the years.) And I consider politeness to be at best a minor virtue, at least when I'm concerned. I'd much rather someone told me I had a big spinach fragment hanging from my teeth than politely avoided me all night. (I don't, do I?)

How's about I don't ignore you and do shorten my posts, and in return you don't ignore me and try not to go arrrgggh if I go a little over the twenty-page limit in a weak moment? Fair deal? :)

Ar"no, really, are my teeth clean?"thur
