Since you never miss an opportunity to be sanctimonious towards me: Why do you have your news client set up to format replies in such a useless way? At first glance, before scrolling down, it looks like you've typed "I did not reject it[...]". For the sake of "saving" 2 characters per line it's not worth it. It's a shit way of doing things and it's defying convention for the sake of it. Please stop trying to be all clever and different and format your replies in the same way as 99% of us do.

Oh, and stop pretending not to know who the post was aimed at: you know perfectly well that it was Wacko. A good post as well.
