Also, more a tip than a rule, PARAGRAPHS and lots of them. 
On the Internet discussion is much easier to read if it 
is in small digestible bites. Use far more paragraphs than 
your high school English teacher would have thought proper. 
Posting your thoughts in one huge paragraph makes it very 
difficult to read, even if from a 'English teacher' 
perspective, one paragraph is correct.

Touché' I figured this one out just from reading others posts. I do 
try to attempt to indent whenever possible so that my meaning will 
have the most effect, if possible. 

I recently had an encounter with chevrons that should not have 
appeared in my post and they did. I may not have even noticed if it 
were not for a kind elf politely notifying me that there was a 
problem with my post. 
The elves do attempt to keep some type of order to our posting so 
that we can better understand the post we are reading and not feel 
violated by its context when that becomes apparent. 

There are times, I am sure, when the elf makes a mistake (by allowing 
their private notice to be viewed, but we all make mistakes) but that 
should not be seen as an opportunity to dismiss the help that they 
give.

Just my thoughts
