It would really help if people would show basic competence with correspondence: - Use capitalization - Hit enter sometimes - Write in paragraphs with sentences, or in list form, but not both at the same time - Click reply to continue discussion, don't copy text into a new email - Don't spam the list with contentless "me too"s
