Apparently they don't do any automatic proper email formating (no

I think it means your reply should be below what you are replying to. Like I just did. It is more annoying to read replies when they are top posted (?).

I think trimming means keeping sideburns at an acceptably trimmed level until lamb chops are back in style, for males. Females shall keep their runways appropriately devoid of any shoulder dandelion weeds.
