Sigh.  That was email, not a newsgroup posting.  Anything anyone
emails me that isn't obviously spam I'll make some effort to read.
But there are far more well-formatted interesting newsgroup postings
that I have time to read, so I might as well skip the misformatted
ones, even if many of them are interesting too.
