Jeopardy

[prog]

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.

Ha. This is especially fun at work when an e-mail has been forwarded down your chain of command to the point where the top messages make no sense whatsoever. It goes something like this:

My Boss: This is a great idea! Implement Part 2 right away.
My Boss's Boss: I agree with what Kathryn said. Let's do what we can.
My Boss's Boss's Boss: wow. these Changes look important. anything that will effect US?
Kathryn: Sir, just wanted to let you know this was in the works. It might be a critical success factor.
Kathryn's Boss: all- take a look at the stuff dave b is doing- could effect the CMO's...
Half and Hour's Reading Later...
Dave B's Lowest Subordinate: Sir, please see the attached spreadsheet. Part A. contains statistics about XYZ. Part 2. is what we might consider doing about it if you think it's a problem.

Note: Half the time the attachment (where the actual information usually is, hasn't made it down the line to me.) How did they do this stuff before e-mail?
