Well, there's a small win. I'll take it.

So this is how you reply? You belittle and misread the very thing you asked
about - context. I clearly stated it was for snark and humor and you took it to
a personal level. Not cool in the least and it goes (IMHO) against the very
thing that BBSing used to be good at; Community.

The "thanks guys" needed zero context as it was a general reply to all who were
helpful in the thread. If you're reading ALL New Messages, I can see how you
would lose context, but that's not a me issue, that's threading not used on
your end. *If* you genuinely were concerned with the topic, you could've simply
moved into the correct group and followed along. Instead you decided to flame.
I'll take the high road here and continue on in a constructive manner.
