I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this message:
![/forum/fa/7634/0/](/forum/fa/7634/0/)
Actually, I guess there was more than one (saw at least three ). I have always thought that Michel and Blackswan together patented those lines, but it seems that I was wrong. Or, if I was right, they must have been cloned and now we have UNION of their lines .
So, how do you like it ?
Font size is perfectly chosen, line lengths are outstanding (not too short, not too long - certainly fit into 80-characters-restriction of 14" monitors @ 640 x 480). All sentences have a capital letter at the beginning as well as full-stop at the end, all caps for abbreviations and commands.
Perfection is slightly spoiled with too many dots in the 2nd and 3rd line, as well as unequal number of dots. Furthermore, lines 4 and 5 should uniform number of spaces around the slash sign. Moreover, a crucial "Search before posting" line is missing. How could that happened?!? It's a mystery of a day.
Therefore, it's not 10/10 but 8.2/10 which can be improved in no time - it's only a few keystrokes and a click away!
What say you?

Clones are getting cloned (which is expected from clones). Another one:
![/forum/fa/7742/0/](/forum/fa/7742/0/)
This is a bad copy of the previous cloned message. Doesn't contain any kind of formatting (apart from new line). No link to famous and hated OraFAQ Forum Guide . It, perhaps, lacks punctuation (a "-" in the first sentence, between "data" and "then", for example). Too many "data" in the same sentence makes it somewhat awkward . Notice length of the first line - it contains (believe or not) 151 (one hundred fifty one) characters!!! That's almost double of a size suggested in the second cloneline (blabla do not exceed 80 characters blabla) .
On the other hand, there are absolutely no spelling mistakes , that along with a simple and serene design brings new cloning line and suggests fashion directions for Spring 2010 .
For now, it would be 7.6/10 - improve it, and the jury will discuss new outlook within the next year (or so) .
