Re: (TFT) Jay's Law -- Rick's comments on Jay's posts.

[Rick Smith <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Jay, David, and everyone,
  Jay, I assume that you would not mind a bit of 
constructive criticism.

  I am a very busy person and I confess I normally
drop your posts directly in my trash.  It is not
worth my time to try to piece together the 'nugget
of wisdom' that David mentioned.

  I have been taught, that it is very important for
a writer to make his or her writing as strong, as 
organized and as easy to understand as possible.  It
really _feels_ to me that someone who makes rambling,
disorganized posts is wasting my time.  It is very
nearly an insult to that writer's readers.

  I am not saying that you intend to waste your 
reader's time.  I am NOT saying that you are 
intending to insult them.  But everyone of your
posts rub me the wrong way.  So 95%+ of them end up
in the trash unread.

  I am NOT demanding that you change.  But since the
issue of your posting style has come up explicitly, 
I thought you might wish to hear my thoughts.   

  Warm regards, Rick.
