Would you like to know what annoys me?

Firstly, arrogant jerk know-it-alls who then reveal themselves to be

Tenses really shouldn't be so mixed. Singular and plural don't usually
work well together.

I wouldn't have ever recokned the message came from a guy named Ric,

"...recokned...?" You really /don't/ use a spiel choker, do you?

because the from line didn't say that, but no worries, it was
irrelevantly iterated in his message.

There are other things, like Linux users who have no respect for the

Oh my, comma usage is dying! There will soon be an over-abundance of
un-used commas in warehouses everywhere. Help the cause; use commas
correctly, but /use/ them!

use it when I'm on a hybrid network that requires me to consult on
Windows ~ like right now ~ but there are lots of annoying quirks
about mailing lists that everybody does.

The network requires you to do something? Interesting. I thought
networks were inanimate things and that it was the /clients/ who did
the requiring.

.../such as/ right now... "like," indicates comparative similarity.

Everybody does quirks? I feel left out! How does one /do/ a quirk?

Like my ranting.

Not particularly, no. (/such as/ my...)

Respect? yeah, sure:
"Five minutes after any agreement is signed with Microsoft,
they'll be thinking of how to violate the agreement. They're
