It's not a matter of standards at all. I have given up on that. It's a matter of not being rude -- expecting everyone who reads this list make up for your lazy disregard for the rest of us. If you can't spend 2 seconds to make a legible email why should the other 450 of us EACH spend 5+ seconds to compensate?
It makes be angry because it's flagrant disregard for the rest of us.
And yes, this email is intended to start a flame war. I'm tired of this bull shit.
I certainly understand your frustration, but instead of getting angry about it, just do what I do. If I can't read the E-mail, I move on...
If I find someone who, after sending several messages, doesn't know how to properly reply on mailinglists ( or refuses to ), it is handled very simply. I completely ignore everything they have to say. If they are truly annoying I simply reject their E-mail at my mail server.
Like you said, if person can't or won't get why this is important they obviously are not going to be able to "get" any help I may be trying to send their way and are in all honesty, simply not worth my time.
