   So far as HenHanna is concerned, here are some things that annoy people:   
      
      
   1. Refusing to format messages in a normal way;   
      
      
   2. Refusing to use normal punctuation;   
      
      
   3. Refusing to use capitals when they are needed (beginnings of   
                   sentences, the pronoun I, etc.);   
      
      
   4. Ignoring all suggestions (and not offering arguments against them);   
      
      
   5. Using abbreviations like pls and ppl that may be acceptable in SMS   
   messages, but are not acceptable in a group devoted to English usage;   
      
      
   6. Insisting on signing as HH after being told several times that there   
   was already an HH at alt.usage.english who had been there much earlier.   
                  (He's gone now, but was a regular when HenHanna arrived.)

   in England until 1987.
