I agree totally. Perhaps it would be a better use of all our resources (and
much more polite) if we were to try to concentrate on the content of a
message rather than the style/method in which it was delivered.

I don't think anyone ever subscribed to a mailing list to be "educated" on
their grammar, posting style, choice of email client etc.

Unless, of course, it was a mailing list called something like
"grammar_posting_style_and_choice_of_email_client_etc_UK"...
