Sloppiness isn't perceived well and shows you don't <br /> care about those you hope will read your post.<br /> <br /> I know it's hard to always follow those rules in daily hassle, but we all can <br /> try to become better with it.<br /> <br /> cheers<br /> jOERG (councilor)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> *) "Text Over, Fullquote Under", <br /> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting<br /> </div> <ul class='midcom_toolbar'> <li class='last_item disabled'> <span> <img src='http://static.maemo.org:81/stock-icons/16x16/stock_mail-reply.png' alt='' /> <span class="toolbar_label">Reply</span> </span> </li> </ul></div> </div></div></div></div> </div></div></div></div> </div> </div><!-- /main-wrapper --> </div><!-- /main --><!-- content end --> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="footer-wrapper-left"> <div id="footer-wrapper-right"> <ul> <li class="first"><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">All Content CC</a></li> <li><a href="/legal/">Legal</a></li> <li><a href="/legal/terms_of_use/">Terms of Use</a></li> <li><a href="/legal/privacy_policy/">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li class="powered">Powered by <a href="http://www.midgard-project.org/" rel="powered">Midgard CMS</a></li> <li class="powered">Hosting provided by <a href="http://www.iphh.net/">IPHH</a></li> <li class="powered">Backup provided by <a href="https://ipredator.se">IPredator</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- container --> </body> </html>
