Do you hate seeing ASCII in posts?

We do. We feel that all posts which consist of nothing but 7-bit ASCII are substantively identical and should be cancellable. Just how many times do we need to see the letter 'E'? The BI for just that one single character has to be in the hundreds of millions, if not billions. We have seen single posts that are BI > 20 just because of that one single character. That's ignoring the rest of them as well. We shall entertain any comments before making a final decision in this matter..

E's are nothing. Have you checked out 0x20?

I agr that the lttr '' has bn way ovr usd and any mssag using an '' in it should b canclabl. But thn som might say that actually snding the lttr '' in a posting was includd in the dsign of Usnt. It also rquirs lss systm rsourcs to handl it than your typical HTML post dos it not? I don't rcall sing on post that HTML actually nhancd. Dav

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND! Vowels are being persecuted! Will no one else speak out against this outrage? As protest against this blatant injustice, I shall from this point onward quote everybody else's posts with doubled vowels.

When they came for the vowels, I kept quiet because I wasn't a vowel.
Then they came for the fricatives, and I kept quiet because I wasn't a fricative.
And when they came for the rest of the sounds, it was too late for anything but silence....
