>>I have noticed (on a sample of 2 ;-)) that the rudest messages on the
list have been
written in this "shorthand". Is this because the person is naturally rude, or
because he or she is so cross that there is no time to find the Shift key?
>>But do we really need to preamble an opinion with "Pardon me for jumping
in..." ?>>
I don't get it. You are very concerned about politeness, yet object to
PMFJI. If person A asks a question of person B, person C may have the
correct answer, and posts same, yet apologizes for stepping in. The epitome
of politeness, no?
