I disagree quite strongly.  Sometimes I haven't.  What?  Does that mean my
comments aren't valid?
    
What annoys me even *more* is people who either can't figure out the
difference between "your" and "you're," or don't care.
    
See what I mean?

P.S.  I have a better solution to the "quoting past messages" problem.
      Let's just impose a new rule:  If your message is going to be the first
      message in a digest, then go ahead and quote the previous message.  But
      (and this is the important part) if your message is *not* going to be
      the first in the digest, then *don't* quote the previous message.
      C'mon people.  Let's be a little more considerate, shall we?
      Good.
