Try to avoid the passive voice. perhaps "I don't understand why he was
doing that" get to the point faster and clearer.

<sigh> Life is so complex and we have such a short time to live it and
this is merely usenet and look how the thread is being prolonged by
discussions of discussions - meta-discussions.

If you can muster enough attention to note that I've stopped posting
Chung crap here today, the obvious should smite you right in the
imagination. Well maybe not you - or should I say "y'all" so it's clearer.

I'm abjectly apologetic that I didn't reply in the precise fashions
you'd have liked me to. Perhaps we can create some templates for
correct reaction to your posts. Maybe set up a web site with the exact
language and formats. When I'm done typing this, I'm going downstairs
and throw myself on my Moulinex cheese grater as a perfect culinary
act of contrition. Ooops. I don't have a Moulinex cheese grater. I
guess I'll throw myself on my wife. She seems to enjoy that.

Get lives, kids.
