OK, will everyone be happy if I say I should have used the word
inconsiderate rather than rude? (They are synonyms, btw). Maybe I
should have said "commited such an insignificantly minor lapse of
internet etiquette that Emily Post would be ashamed to mention it"?
Here is a nice rant on the matter:

It's interesting that your cited article on one aspect of posting
etiquette ignores another ... the line length was inappropriate,
such that the line wrapping made it harder to read.
Interesting also that at least one of the responses to this thread
was a pure 'aol' example ... the entire content re-posted without
trimming, for a 'me too' variety of response!

True. I forgave that since I assumed the author of the html page cut
and pasted it from a usenet/mailing list posting. Actually, it is a
far more heinous crime against humanity if you leave it up there like
that permanently!
