Thanks for your constructive advice. I do both of these all the time,
thanks. If I never want suggestions for posting style, I'll be sure to
ask for them.

I did read the entire thing. I wanted to make the point that yes, we
are already doing what he suggested. Since his posting made the point
that _perhaps_ we were doing what he suggested, I thought it would be
informative to say "yes, we are, in some areas."

I liked his suggestion, actually. Many other people have made the same
suggestion over the years, here, and have helped remind posters about
games who forgot to put the game name in the subject.

> You had no argument to make against his post,

Uh, I agreed with it.
