Shaun, you said it so well there was nothing to add.  (I went to a 
school with prefects, and, having intended to respond to Morgan's 
request, decided I had nothing to say, so I said it.)

You are by no means the only list member who, IMO, has this 'problem'.

In my job, when I write something, I put a lot of effort into 
anticipating possible responses, and heading off the bad ones.  We 
subject work to peer review, which strips out more.  It's part of 
being professional.

The habit carries over to my posting style, and then I wonder why I 
don't get responses.

I suspect your work has the same effect.

Try a wizard chat-up line instead.
