I wasn't sure if I should say anything, but I agree completely with the point of view expressed here by Serenitude. This forum has a large variety of posters, posting styles, and personal habits. If the community begins to discuss the behavior or posting style of any individual poster it sets a precedent for the discussion of the posting style or attitude of any individual poster that someone dislikes. I don't see how this would be a good idea for the health of these forums...
