No problem, I can repost it for you:

OK , so you don't like the fact that I put a space between the word
and the punctuation . Oh well , learn to deal with it . Been
doing it this way for years , and I'll KEEP doing it . If you don't
like the way I punctuate , killfile me .


In reading your posts, I hadn't noticed your punctuation
spacing problem until S.M. mentioned it. Don't know how I
had overlooked it all these years, it's so glaringly obvious.
The first step toward fixing a problem like this is to admit
you have a problem. All those extra spaces take time to type,
so in the long run you can save yourself time by leaving them
out. Also, they make your text harder to read. In a public
medium like Usenet, where dozens of people read each post, it
is the responsibility of each writer to make his or her post
readable. The notion that other people should have to deal
with your spacing problem, instead of you fixing it, e.g. by
getting a new keyboard or learning how to fix what's broke,
is nonsense.


Seems to me you have your sense of humor turned off at the moment.
Apparently you didn't see that the comment about the problem being
glaringly obvious, in the context of your exaggerated-spacing post,
is facetious. Likewise the sentence after that, and the comment
about getting a new keyboard. Ok?

"Them that can , do .
Them that can't , critic ."

Jimmy , if you "didn't notice it" for all this time , where's the
problem
? As I told ****y Chrissy , if you don't like the way I punctuate ,
killfile me . In over 13 years of posting to usenet , email lists , etc.
you are exactly the second person to comment on it .
Ain't nobody forcin' you to read it ...
