Well, the second argument is. It's probably derived from our our wish for
well-structured data. And according to the other link given in this
conversation, I'm even more strict because I'm dutch :-)
About being from the early days on internet. Hardly. I got my first computer
in 1999, my first usage of newsgroups dates back to 2003. But I know either
buggy or lagging newsservers, so I know what a pain it is to decypher what
an original question was, and tend to accomodate other users who might not
have seen the earlier post, in the hope they'll do the same for me.
Grtz,
