ORIGINAL: DarkSteven Fella, I looked at your profile and I'd be hard pressed to think that YOU are serious. No need to jump down his throat, and the profile thing is kind of off topic. The spelling thing is even further off topic, and reminiscent of the flaw you pointed out with regard to concern for superficial things, rather than the underlying substance of a person. Who contacts him or not isn't even in the ballpark anymore, and I can't exactly claim that my inbox is brimming with letters from interested women, except the scammers. Motivating him to put in more effort may be more effective than a demotivational confrontation. Chances are he already put in some effort, though he could no doubt benefit from more. I would encourage you to put in more effort yourself, or about one post less of it. The snarktastic show is entertaining, but it seems unfortunate to direct it at newcomers. A complaint which isn't exclusive to you. I just picked you because (a) you went for spelling mistakes, which is a pet peeve of mine, and (b) you might actually listen. Several posters have been quite tactful. Taking a page out of their books would be laudable, in my opinion. Feel free to remind me when I give in to the temptation of snarkery in the future, as well, and we can have a snark watchers' club, twelve step programme optional. With newbies, I mean. IWYW, — Aswad.
