There is a certain process when responding to public mailing lists too:

1. Read what you are replying to.
2. Try to understand what you are replying to.
3. Write your reply.
4. Make sure it is coherent, relevant and not a total waste of time
for others to read.
4. Spellcheck it.
5. Capitalize sentences.
6. Send it.

Please do not sidestep this process. Process is important.

WikiEN-l is not an AOL chat room, it's not a time-critical affair.
If something needs to be written, it'll wait until tomorrow, or most
likely someone else will write it if it is not pure crap.

Don't expect mercy if you write garbage. If you
throw the rules out of the window don't complain if you go that way
too (I have not ben playing to much Max Payne I have not ben playing
to much Max Payne)
