What in the world are you talking about?

* Nobody's that formal on Usenet.
* Email and newsgroup style commonly condones abbreviation and even
misspelling.
* What does "thousands of readers" have to do with anything?  There
was nothing defaming or insulting about his post.  He asked an honest
question.
* It's probably a kid, and you're an adult who should behave a little
more responsibly.
* I think you meant "hundreds", pal.

I am a BIG fan of your product, but you really gotta caaalm down, li'l
dogey.
