You guys are jumping to conclusions with no basis here and attacking
somebody because you don't like the way he posts.  An the funny part is
that you are not attacking him because of the content but the format. 
This is very petty.  There is no reason to attack Bob for his messages. 
Maybe he is visually impaired and uses assistive devices but doesn't
like to divulge that information?   There could be dozens of reasons his
message format is the way it is...  If you get this infuriated over
little things I would hate to see what happens if your kid spills
something on the rug.  Do you beat them?  Please grow up and get back to
topics of Linux.
