OK, this one does it. I just don't understand, Virg. I have no idea what this means, or what it's about. Why is it that some people steadfastly refuse to follow the rules of this list? Every few months I beg y'all to read the "KRNetiquette" at http://www.krnet.org/info.html , but the very people I'm talking to never read it, or simply don't care if they're inconvenciencing a few hundred people. How long does it take to delete 240 lines of old text below your post? Takes me about two seconds. How long does it take 400 people to sift through 240 lines of text looking for your reply to Larry's post? Took me about 10 seconds to find your one-liner at the time, after visiting the bottom trying to find it. 10 seconds times 400 people is 67 minutes of other people's time spend trying to find something that you could have fixed in two seconds. Can you see where I'm going with this? I still don't know what you were trying to say, and at this point, I don't even care. Was I supposed to go back and read every word of Larry's post to see where your tidbit of wisdom applied? Sorry, but I'm not going to waste that kind of time. Larry spent a lot of time carefully cutting, pasting, and answering all of those posts in one concise message. I hung on every word. It was great stuff, delivered by one of the few KR pilots who will actually open up and tell us the real story. You sent a message that was every bit as big, but I didn't get a single thing out of it other than frustration. All your message is going to do is overinflate the archives. I'm sure you're a great guy Virg, but when it comes to contributing to KRnet, you're just not gettin' it. If you really want to help us out, PLEASE spend an extra few seconds and make your posts informative (not cryptic) and easy to read, not painful. Once again, PLEASE READ and at least humor us with an attempt at following the rules posted at http://www.krnet.org/info.html . If you need instructions on how to cut and paste text, email me offline and I'll do my best to teach you. Why did I post this to the net instead of sending it direct to Virg? Because it applies to a lot more folks than just him, and public humiliation is about the only thing that shows any sign of working at all!
