Graham, at 18:12 on Jun 12 1996, you wrote to Peter Collis...

A bit of friendly advice; your messages are virtually unintelligible
(nobody could reasonably be expected to comprehend the dreadful mess
below), so I would suggest that you (a) keep your quoting to an absolute
minimum, and (b) make some sort of an attempt to layout your message in a
neat and tidy manner.

When I see a message which is as poorly composed as yours, I don't even
bother reading it, and just press the  key instead.

I suggest you sort out your quote-string initials too, as I have no idea
who is supposed to have said what above.  This criticism is meant to be
constructive, and I trust you'll take it in the manner in which it was
intended.
