Thank you very much, Doc. You've almost exactly

But I still have much the reaction you sketched at seeing it so
deliberately mangled.
I take consolation in the persistence of punctuation as well as
majescules and miniscules in messages on this list. While having

When I poster repeatedly uses "LOL LOL LOL", I assume that he (or
she) is manic and must be dealt with accordingly. Compassion toward
the less fortunate is not a weakness.
