Personally I
think Howard writes very well, but that's probably
because I too tend to run on and have trouble shortening
sentences to essentials. I like that style. However, it
requires more of the reader, and on an NG the reader
generally won't give more.

Note that Paul is such a skilled writer that he's abandoned paragraphs, so I
had to add them back in to make his spew at least semi-manageable.

Don't debate points of literacy with me, Arnie. Stick to transistors
and diodes.

Ludovic Mirabel has a similar
problem in that he has much of value to say but sometimes
fails to say it concisely enough to grab people's
attention. This is the era of the "sound bite". I guess
you have to grip people by the throat to get their
attention.

Well Ludo is one of those people who talks to hear himself talk and writes
to see his thoughts, such as they are, written out. Communicating with
others really has nothing to do with it.

Perhaps if you actually read Ludovic you might see the value in his
thoughts. He is in fact a very intelligent man, and sincere into the
bargain. And he writes rather well if, as I assume, English is not his
first language. (His formatting stinks, however).

One area in which Howard does fall down,
however, is humour. Toss in a joke here and there,
Howard. The people like it, and will like you more for
it.

There's no need to add humor when writing on RAO. You can be sure that one
of the resident clowns, say Paul or Art, will be by to drop some off.

Why, thank you, Arnie. That pleases me enormously. Two compliments
from Arnie Krueger in one week. Astonishing.

And if you don't naturally possess humour, just mock
somebody occasionally. It goes down well here.

Plus, mocking person is such a good way to puff yourself up, and help you
maintain your illusion of self-importance.

It is, isn't it? And you would know.
