Jeopardy

The war against Jeopardy-style posting is lost, and has been for a long time. I've only come around to realizing this lately.

I bet that the only people who don't do it are people who still post to Usenet, a set also expressable as people who know what "Jeopardy-style posting" means.

I don't mind, and I still write my replies "correctly" because it's better that way. But I have to accept that nobody will pick up on my example.

Consider yourself fortunate that enough of your e-mail makes sense for this kind of thing to matter. My typical experience involves corporate e-mail exchanges that are so cryptic/incomprehensible/incoherent that where or if anyone replies is pretty much irrelevant.
