Brian, all that is being asked is that people on this list try to make 
it as easy as possible for other people to read their posts. The rules 
for doing so, which are generally accepted etiquette for usenet and 
lists like this one, have been posted.

It's not a question of having an open mind, it's a question of everyone 
else having enough time to sort through messy posts trying to figure out 
what is trying to be said. Please try to understand that people want to 
be helpful and contribute here, but they have other things to do as well.
