Hi Guys,

I've been reading this list on and off for a long time, and I notice that 
most requests for help with basic coding problems end up with a heap of 
pointed and often rude comments about how badly the code is presented . and 
how the OP should learn how to code properly first. The chicken and the egg 
question comes to mind here.

In most instances the issue is clearly not the OP's lack of abilty to lay 
out their code correctly within their chosen programming editor . rather the 
messing up of the formatting at various stages, when copying and pasting 
into an email, to be able to ask their questions.

So for those of you who get most offended at the poor formatting of code 
examples . is there a procedure for entering our code examples so they 
display correctly without losing their formatting . and so that any of our 
legitimate calls for help are not misdirected at our lack of ability to 
present our code properly .. rather than provide the really simple answer 
that most of you could give.

. and if there is not . can you please write one, so that whenever this 
issue comes up . you can politely point us to the procedure . and problem 
solved.

Then if there are still issues . get as sarcastic as you like if that makes 
you feel any better.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Regards, Roger

Ps. I have some questions to ask . but I wouldn't dare . at least until I 
get this bit out of the way.  :)
