Unless the OP is particulalry verbose, the question is particularly
complex, or your reposne is to a very specific issue in the post or
previous comment, you'll want to be careful about pruning. Text is
cheap: err on the side of pity for people who don't have threaded
email clients.

And spelling checkers are useflul.


Nah, I like my tumb.
