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
