[quote=”Flamegrape”]It looks like you have a good discussion going here. You guys are keeping it fairly civil. Good. However, I have a recommendation for both of you. Whenever someone responds to another’s post with specific responses to specific parts of the latter’s post, it can come across as a bit snippy or nit-picky. Brevity is golden.

I do apologize for the length of some of these. Don’t intend to be snippy or nit-picky. I tend to post the same way I reply to emails. I always quote any part of an email that I address in my reply, and I always insert my reply immediately after the quoted subject being referred to. I do this simply to maintain the feel of a two-way conversation, and also so the receiver doesn’t have to constantly refer back to older emails to see what I’m talking about. In short, it is done for your convenience, and to minimize miscommunications and/or misunderstandings.
You see, in this email, there is only one subject being addressed. Ergo I felt no need to split up your quoted material and reply to different sections individually.
I probably developed this habit from providing rules support for a couple of now-defunct collectible card games. Players would email me with multiple questions and issues, I would break down the email and reply to each section individually, for clarity.
