I am not claiming to be an important
person.  I am complaining about the
difficulty I have, reading posts which
wrap around unnecessarily, in a 
rather unsightly fashion, particularly
when they have been forwarded numerous
times.  This does happen quite often,
as you may have noticed.  I also said
"please", so I don't think I was 
trying to be obnoxious or offensive
in any way.  Maybe you could recommend
a better way to make the same suggestion,
in a more constructive fashion?  Or, does
it not matter to you at all?  Try forwarding
this message to yourself, several times in
a row, and see what happens to what you
have written below.
