After it was explained nicely, (not by you) I agreed that I ought to have included the text from the original, but not that I ought not to have extended the original subject line. What I do object to is your authoritarian attitude and the reams you write to make your point. You missed the "please" in my first reply. The rest was explanation and arguing with you and others why replying to the original thread (for continuity) is polite and starting a new thread instead of adding to the old thread (disconnection) is impolite. Next time I might call it a Bunch of Bananas. If I do ... what do you intend to do about it? Yep, that was you. You decided to denigrate and got negative consequence. That was a surprise to you? Tit for tat. Yes, I'm verbose. Being terse is not necessarily a better mode of communication. The average attention span of humans I don't have the time to read screeds and screeds of stuff when someone else can describe what he prefers in a few sentences. I leave you to it. "Please post updates to the original thread (instead of a starting a disconnected thread). Folks searching for help and finding your original thread may not see your followup response in a different thread. Since you started a new thread, I'll continue the old discussion here." That was my first post (first paragraph). 45 words, 278 characters. Not really the "screeds" you claim. The other posts were explanation. What, you never thought a book would have content longer than its title? |

It's a shame, because when I can be bothered to wade through your verbiage, you're usually fairly technically accurate. You also come across as a pompous netkop. While I'm at it, perhaps you could learn to snip your quotes so that you adhere to the principles of netiquette you're so fond of propounding. -- (\_/) (='.'=) Bunny says: Windows 10? Nein danke!

Prolix and "too wordy" are the same thing. I am unconcerned about problems with short attention spans or reading comprehension. It remains the reader's choice as to how much they read. ... very much a case of TL;DR. Redundant again. 3 times within the same sentence. Use a thesaurus on "verbose" to add more same-meaning words in the same sentence. You also come across as a pompous netkop. I'd rather be arrogant than a wimp. I said "Please" once. That's my limit for pleading. I don't keep begging. While I'm at it, perhaps you could learn to snip your quotes so that you adhere to the principles of netiquette you're so fond of propounding. I don't [normally] snip so much that context is lost. Instead I trim. You snip when you are NOT going to address someone's comments. You trim when you do address their comments. For example, at first, I was going to snip the "wordy" and "netkop" comments in my reply as I was only going to address your last "quoting" comment. However, I decided to retort (return your attitude) and address your other comments. Going down the tree hierarchy of posts (threaded order, not date order): My 1st reply: trimming would've eliminated the last 2 lines of "Best" and "O". Oh yes, that would've been so vast a number of bytes to remove. Newline, "Best", newline, "O". My 2nd reply: Just what of Mick's post should I have trimmed? His first sentence (since the rest is context and short enough already). My 3rd reply: Yep, could've snipped all of the quoted content since my reply did not specifically address the quoted comments. I decided to leave it in to irritate Ophelia in having to scroll to see my reply. My 4th reply: I snipped everything quoted by Rene leaving only his comment as that was the only topic I addressed in that subthread. My 5th reply: Yep, could've snipped everything before "Now if your" but forgot. Trimming is a manual thing so sometimes you forget to do your chores. And look when I posted. I was probably pretty sleepy. My 6th reply: Did the trimming. Both the prelude content and Rene's superfluous non-signature signature were snipped out. My 7th reply: The only trimming would've been to snip out Mick's first paragraph. However, when the quoted content is short, I may not trim or snip it. My 8th reply: Almost nothing to trim or snip there. My 9th reply: Oops, missed snipping in that one. Could've left just Ophelia's last comment about "time to read screeds" and snipped everything before that. Oooh, I'm such a bad poster regarding trimming in replies. Uh huh. I do NOT add cutsy, superfluous, and off-topic signatures, like you. Other than for identification (without spamming a web site), extremely rare is a signature on-topic. |
