You appear to have posted this as a reply to the wrong comment. Also, you need to indent code 4 spaces and escape underscores in text mode with a \_.

On the topic, I don't mind if you post tirades against people posting false information (I personally flipped the bozo bit on private_messaging a long time ago). But you should probably keep it short. A few paragraphs would be more effective than two pages. And there's no need for lengthy apologies.

Yes, I am sorry for the mistakes, not sure if I can rectify them. I see now about protecting special characters, I will try to comply.

I am sorry, I have some impairments and it is hard to make everything come out right.

Thank you for your help

As a data point, I skipped more_wrong's comment when I first saw it (partly) because of its length, and only changed my mind because paper-machine & Lumifer made it sound interesting.
