numbered items, with each number consisting of no more than
two brief sentences.


and try to make sure the subject line is *exactly* the same
each time, so that people can killfile it without killfiling
the author. this was a PITA when Julia made Occasional Posts
in the past.

Do you think that
seeing it when you first started posting would have helped?


No. In fact, there were a few responses to your post where
newbies thought that you were taking *them* to task. But, if
you are going to start posting it, you should follow up in the
situations where it's misunderstood.
