[Air-l] Writers and responders to this list need to understand readability

This is the worst list I have ever seen for reading. Little is
comprehensible because folks are replying to replies which means there are
nested parens within nested parens and trying to figure out who said what
is near to impossible, never mind giving thought and consideration to what
is actually said. 

I realize it is very easy to just press the 'r' key but I think you need
to give thought to readability and comprehension and approach posting in
the same fashion you might have once approached simple letter writing. 

Remember the goal is informing and only clearly written thoughts will do
this.

The option is to press the 'd' key as soon as air-l appears in the From
line.

Sincerely, Thom
