Professional? Bugger off. You're just lazy. If editing a mail takes you that
much trouble, I wonder how you manage to play your AN1x.

"To the point" would be just fine. In the old days (say, three years ago)
people would put their answer ∗under∗ the question, which made it all that
much easier to read what it's all about. Saves all of us 300 readers some
time.

I get them that way, thank you. I was just empathising with the people who
don't, which is a choice they made.

Instead of trying to find excuses, you could consider how you could make
this list easier for everyone. It's not like I'm asking something
unreasonable, you know.
