stamper,

Why?

Would it be possible to use less words when you are composing a post?

Chris,

Quote from: Slobodan

If you are willing, I ask that you grant Slobodan the authority to decide, at this time, if I should be banned permanently from LuLa.

I will respect his decision.

Should we consider banning contributions for imprecise grammar -- i.e., "fewer" words. not "less" words?

Just for the sake of clarity, I didn't start this thread. Chris split it from another thread about changes in the forum behavior.

"Arthur Phili ..." it said, then glanced sharply at him and down at his clipboard. He frowned. He looked up at him again.
"I've done you before haven't I?" he said.

Douglas Adams' fans over here should recognize that piece...
