you're responding to the last line only, that it would be sensible to
trim to that line only? That way the query and your reply jumps straight
off the screen and smacks the reader between the eyes; there are no
other distractions.

I strive to provide impact with everything I write even if it's tosh:
letters, memos, novels, and see no reason why Usenet shouldn't receive
the same treatment, but it's lonely out here.

You are suggesting others write as I write.

Sorry to piss on your chips, but I wasn't talking about you; I was passing a comment to John.
