I don't doubt a medical condition but throwing out acronyms without some
pointer for those who don't know what the reference is leads to someone
getting the wrong context.  Maybe this one should be a candidate for the
Cygwin acronym list.

My email client folds the excessive quoted lines and only if I don't
know the context do I need to open the folds.  Maybe someone with RSI
should consider updating their client.  Complaining never got much done
and this bike shed topic has been discussed many times with little
noticed effect.
