Sadly, we proper-posters are often happily married, with children.
Women seem curiously drawn to a man with etiquette. Makes the "bad
boy" thing tough to carry off, and thus ruins one's prospects for
playing the field for decades or causes one to live a lonely, boring
life defending poor behavior in usenet.

Get a life, Jules.

E.P.

(a) What jursdiction do Microsoft have here? None.
(b) IIRC RFC1855 makes a pasing reference to posting styles and merely
makes a little suggestion rather than try and enforce any rules.
(c) And of course RFC1855 was written decades ago and merely
represents the opinions of those around at the time.
